Republican Sen. Tim Scott says the reaching a deal with Democrats on border security is now "dead on arrival."
The South Carolina lawmaker made the comment Wednesday night on Fox News, following Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell reportedly telling member of his conference any agreement with Democrats on border security tied to Ukraine aid could undermine former President Trump's 2024 campaign, which is heavily focused on the crisis at the southern border."
"Number one, it's dead on arrival," said Scott, who after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race has back the front-running Trump. "Number two, Democrats prefer the issue than any solution," Scott said on Fox News on Wednesday evening. "Never forget, any issue impacting marginal people they go with problem not with solution."
Every single year, the "Gang of Traitors" proposes the same laundry list:
- More money to process illegals faster
- Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!
- Work visas for illegals
- A "path to citizenship" for illegals
We keep telling them we want:
- a border wall
- more security
- more deportations
- a sharply narrowed definition of who is permitted to claim "asylum" status, which is how most illegals scheme their way into the country
We keep saying the same thing year after year, and the Gang of Traitors says they're finally going to give us border security -- Border security, in these four steps:
- More money to process illegals faster
- Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!
- Work visas for illegals
- A "path to citizenship" for illegals
Wait...
that's...
that's the exact same thing you've "offered" us since 2002...
IT'S THE SAME FUCKING "DEAL" EVERY YEAR.
DO THEY THINK WE'VE FORGOTTEN THE LAST "DEAL" WHICH WAS EXACTLY LIKE THIS NEW "DEAL"?
Then McConnell lied to us and said we had to take this "deal," because Schumer would never give us such a great "deal" under Trump.
In other words: McConnell was claiming that we have to give the Democrats almost their complete laundry list of demands, in exchange for no border wall, no border security, no deportations, and no limitations on "asylum," to preserve our bargaining strength with Schumer in the future.
So in the future, now that Schumer has 90% of what he always wanted... what exactly would be his incentive to give the right anything on security?
This was McConnell's claim. This was the lie hissed out by this aneurysmic Mephistopheles.
McConnell is blaming the bill's failure on Trump -- he's the likely nominee now, so we can't undermine him.
DeSantis wanted the border sealed, too. Vivek too.
So who was McConnell holding out hope for?
Nikki Haley, of course. The Great Off-White Hope.

MCCONNELL BOWS TO TRUMP ON BORDER
Last night, we scooped that MCCONNELL told Republican senators that time had essentially run out on trying to craft a Ukraine-border package.
"We dont want to do anything to undermine [Trump]," said McConnell, who can barely utter the former president's name.
"The politics on this have changed," McConnell said.
TIM SCOTT then was asked about our reporting on Fox and said the border bill is DOA. The bill was being crafted by his 2010 classmate Lankford.
The politics of this haven't changed since 1995. We want you to stop illegals from coming into the country; every "compromise" you propose involves bringing more illegals into the country.
We say: "Take money and build a wall." You say: "We'll take your money, and spend it to expedite the asylum hearing process to give illegal aliens passes into the United States for eight years."
We say: "We want less illegal immigration." You say: "Would you accept, instead, green cards for all illegals currently in the country?"
We say: "We want you to deport the illegals." You say: "We've achieved an historic compromise -- we're going to grant legal status to not only all "children" brought here by illegals, but to their adult family members as well."
It just never stops. The public, and particularly the GOP voting base to whom you owe your Position of Grift, has been telling you they want you to stop illegal immigration for thirty fucking years, but you just keep producing more "compromises" to make illegal immigration more efficient.

I realize Trump and/or GOP infighting is catnip to the press, but it seems painfully obvious McConnell didn't have the votes for what was a terrible border "compromise" and he's deflecting by blaming Trump, knowing the media would fall for this excuse hard.
Mitt Romney claims that these traitors' plans to spend money not on border security but on regularizing the status of illegals so they are permitted both to stay in American and work in America would have "solved the border issue," and claims Trump doesn't want the border issue "solved."

. @MittRomney will speak at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and endorse Biden.
Take it to the bank.
That is 100% correct. This guy who obviously "does not want to solve the border problem" speaks the truth.
