House GOP leadership vowed on Sunday to kill the Senate’s bipartisan defense supplemental spending package after the long-awaited deal was unveiled.
Senate appropriators released the legislative text of the bill on Sunday evening, following four months of negotiations between a bipartisan trio of members and the White House on a border security deal that would unlock assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Detractors on both sides of the aisle were quick to attack negotiators and the bill’s contents, while the top two House Republicans said the deal would die in their chamber.

I wish there were a way to undo the Great Compromise.

The proposed Uniparty bill codifies into law a perpetual Cloward & Piven strategy of open borders and floods of illegal alien invaders. Shameful and traitorous.

"Democrats currently control the Senate 51-49, leaving them in need of nine Republican votes to bypass the filibuster and send the legislation to the House."
Less than that. Based on comments/past performance, Republicans likely on board: McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, Lankford (sponsor), Rounds, Romney, Graham.
So they only need 2 Republicans.

I already wrote a letter to my Representative, Dan Meuser, and he is dead set against it.
Write your Congressman people!

biden opened the border all by himlself. Why the BS about not being unable to close it?
To: Sam77
How did this guy become the face of this bill?
Answer: McConnell and Schumer pushed him out in the front, despite him being a member of the minority party. All this proving once again; the Republicans are appropriately named the Stupid Party

"The proposed Uniparty bill codifies into law"
Exactly. Its basically making 'legal' what has been illegal for at least the last 3 years, if not more. And binds the hands of someone who may come in to try and put an end to it.
It may be time to start telling DC, "yeah, we don't think we're going to go along with that".

Already 10M+ illegals have entered the country under the Biden regime’s open borders policy, the majority of whom are fighting age males from scores of countries. This includes tens of thousands of Chinese males, whose departure from Communist China is controlled by the CCP. Red Dawn may soon become a reality.

They'd better. Mike Johnson needs to keep his caucus together and smother this disgrace. Three times more money for Ukraine's border than our own - and the money for "our border" will actually go to giveaways for illegals. Not one penny for construction or staffing of an actual border wall. Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans who backed this are beyond useless - they are working hand-in-hand with Democrats to destroy this nation.

Every compromise is a victory for your opposition.
How is it a win-win if you compromise your principles?

Perhaps if we bundled the 17th Amendment with it we might get some traction in a COS!

"“I’m a little confused how it’s worse than they expected when it builds border wall, expands deportation flights, expands ICE officers, Border Patrol officers, detention beds,” Lankford said"Lankford is a babbling idiot. It's already illegal to allow the invading hoards across our border. If this bill becomes a law, it will suddenly become LEGAL to allow 1.8 MILLION illegals across our border annually, without papers, background checks, identification, photos, or verification. Paying for even more personnel to stamp their arrival papers is a stupid waste of money. Thinking Biden will obey new laws when he's already ignoring existing laws is criminal.
