What would be the point, you wouldn’t accept the source any way.
Republicans blocked a border bill that they themselves negotiated. How much more evidence do you need?

You mean that Ukraine border bill??
Every time I bring this up, you scurry away.
Why is that?

I know the bill that got blocked was the same bill. But the Ukraine aid bill on its own just passed the senate… you know that right?
So there was no logical reason for it to be blocked, except that Trump wanted it to be blocked so he can campaign on border security.
It wasn’t a bad deal either, shut the border after 5,000 cross a day, considering they say 10,000+ are crossing everyday, they could’ve halved the amount of people crossing the border… stupid republicans, now they get nothing.

Going across the border illegally is... a crime.

There legally allowed to claim asylum if they’re on US soil, but the US doesn’t have the resources to house them well there asylum claim is being reviewed… hence the catch and release.
You would need to create a law to not make it legal, which is what the bill proposed, after 5,000 had crossed. But Trump shut it down.
ALERT: Court Order on Circumvention of Lawful Pathways Final Rule
On Aug. 3, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a stay of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California’s order in East Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Biden, 18-cv-06810 (N.D. Cal.), vacating the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways (CLP) rule. At this time and while the stay remains in place, USCIS will continue to apply the CLP rule.
Under the rule, certain individuals who enter the United States through its southwest land border or adjacent coastal borders are presumed to be ineligible for asylum, unless they can demonstrate an exception to the rule or rebut the presumption. Individuals are encouraged to use lawful, safe, and orderly pathways to come to the United States.

The majority of republicans flat out rejected that bill when all was said and done. It was DOA in the Republican controlled House.

Either way, it’s an established fact that Trump has told Republicans not to pass any bill related to the border, simply because Trump wants it to be as chaotic as possible so he can campaign on it.
He doesn’t care about the border, he just wants to use the issue as a political football for his own selfish benefit.

Yeah well, that’s the whole point.
Trump wants the borders to remain as they are so he can campaign on it.
