Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is seriously considering bringing the failed bipartisan border deal back to the floor for a vote later this month — turning the tables on the GOP's favorite 2024 issue, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Democrats are launching a border offensive. Senators are slamming Republicans again for killing the border deal months ago and President Biden is unveiling new proposed asylum changes this week.

Schumer plans to force Republicans to again reject the border package, according to three Democratic Senate aides familiar. The bill would expedite the asylum process and allow the federal government to curtail asylum access during surges.

Schumer told his caucus during the lunch meeting on Wednesday that he's seriously considering bringing the bipartisan border deal to the floor for a vote the week of May 20th, according to multiple Senate Democratic aides familiar.
For years, Democrats have been hesitant to directly deal with the border issue, struggling to find a way to counter GOP attacks over the historic numbers of illegal border crossings.
What they're saying: "Democrats are going to make it clear which party is working to fix our broken border, and which party is conspiring to make it worse," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said at a press briefing Wednesday afternoon following the caucus lunch where the border was discussed.

"It's clear as day Republicans are addicted to using the issue of immigration as a political tool. They are allergic to solving the problem," said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
During the lunch, Murphy reminded senators of what the deal he negotiated with Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) would have done on the border, according to an aide.

The border deal makes the illegal insurgency legal. That's all

Too many people are starting to notice that we spend more money protecting other countries borders than we do our own.

Sure.

Why not?

Codify 5k illegals per day and offer it to a Speaker who is fricking desperate for a "win."

Dems play 3d chess and GOP plays fricking Candyland

The reason we have so much illegal immigration is because current laws aren't being fully enforced. Just passing new laws isn't going to change frick-all if there's no push to enforce them.

Of course he will. The open border is the only thing Trump can win on.

THey'll misrepresent what the bill really is, again, and blame the GOP for the border being open.

It’s not a border deal. It’s an immigration deal to process higher volumes of illegals.

Calling it a border deal is gaslighting.

This is a political play to blame republicans and try to improve their polling on the issue.

The worst part about this is that Republicans didn’t push back on the media narrative that the original border deal was torpedoed “because Trump wanted to run on it.”


NO. The deal simply fricking sucks as a matter of policy. That was not and is not being said enough.

Did the Republicans kill a real border bill or did they kill a bunch of shite that costs taxpayers billions disguised as a border bill?

These motherfrickers completely opened the border over the past 3 years, and only now that they’re losing in the polls, want to appear to do something about it and blame the Republicans.

I hope Schumer gets arse cancer.

Notice how this is presented as if the dems are the dictator and comrades?

There was an article a few months back that Biden would semi act like he fixed the border at the last minute for the win.

The republicans are sitting like cucks watching lady liberty get screwed with no lube. They are democrats.

Maybe Republicans should call this bluff. Pass the deal and then run on how bad Biden’s policies are. Yes the border will still be wide open but it’s wide open now.

This is absolutely not 100 percent bipartisan. Democrats will attempt to shut it down in favor of illegals crossing. What a blatant lying piece of shite Schumer is.

This is not rocket surgery you dumb arse Democrats.

It's obvious what the Democrats are attempting to do with this issue right before election time to distract from their true position. This move can easily be parried if the Republicans counter with a clear, unified voice demanding long term and uncompromising solutions, including barriers, deportation, military presence, and ending birthright citizenship. The Democrats can only flip perception on this issue if Republicans are willing to accept half-hearted measures that the Democrats throw out that will have no meaningful impact on fixing the issue.

Again, an easy move to counter but the weakness, disunity, and general lack of conviction that permeates the Republican congressional body on this issue makes it possible for the Democrats to mitigate their extreme disconnect with the public on this issue.
