WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing a torrent of criticism from conservatives, Senate Republicans on Monday resisted advancing on a bipartisan proposal intended to clamp down on illegal border crossings, signaling a likely defeat in Congress that would leave leaders with no clear path to approve wartime aid for Ukraine.
In a dramatic turnaround, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell recommended to GOP senators in a closed-door meeting that they vote against the first procedural vote Wednesday, according to two people familiar with the meeting who were not authorized to talk publicly about it and spoke anonymously.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, the lead Democratic negotiator for the bill, said, “I think this country is crying out for the parties to stop fighting over immigration and just get something done that’s going to better control the border and fix our broken immigration system.”
What we’re crying for should be a simple fix: for Joe to just shut the fricking thing down with a stroke of the pen. It’s no more complicated than that.
They truly think we’re that stupid.

“I think there’s a very real concern that there hasn’t been adequate time,” said South Dakota Sen. John Thune, the second-ranked Republican leader. “I think the Wednesday vote is going to be, for most of our members, too early.”
No, you fricktard, that's not it. It's because just a cursory reading of the bill reveals that it's bullshite that not only allows the invasion to continue, but codifies it into law.

Republican voters are getting more difficult to deal with and fool. Poor Mitch. He wanted to craft the legislation which ensured an open border forever.

People need to pay attention to this part. It was never about securing the border. It was always about keeping the money laundering operation going.
