The bill erases our borders. Who are these breaker of oaths elected to representative?
Oath of office: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
It’s DOA in the House but any Republican in the Senate who supports this Open Border bill will tell us everything we need to know about who they are. It will be a clarifying vote.
Incredible they got this far with such a dog of a bill. But it still has eroded the moral high… https://t.co/yBLYB311fl— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) February 5, 2024
The New Bipartisan Senate Border Package – MORE money to UKRAINE than to secure our own borders, the most pressing issue for American voters today. What a complete sham this is.
Does this bill show a complete failure of Congress to understand the needs of the American people?… pic.twitter.com/UBNw2umb67

Every senator involved in this debacle should be defeated. I challenge every news operation to read the text from the bill cited in this article to their audiences.https://t.co/2gpU5u2MOB

Not only does this bill codify 1.5 million illegal border crossings into law, but the "border emergency" that automatically gets implemented at 5,000 crossings per day in a week can be overturned by Joe Biden.
And in case 1.5 million illegals isn't enough, it also locks in green… pic.twitter.com/pZRV4iymph

Under The Senate’s Atrocious Border Bill, Everybody Gets Asylum
By: Margot Cleveland, The Federalist, February 05, 2024
Congress apparently wants to open America to every citizen of the world who heralds from a country where the government cannot control crime.
The Senate’s emergency appropriations bill released on Sunday won’t address the border crisis, and contrary to the accomplice media’s spin, the spending bill won’t “severely curtail asylum at the US southern border.”
The bill could have had the Senate reclaim the reins of lawmaking from the executive and judicial branches and clarify that widespread criminality in another country is not a basis for asylum in America. Instead, the 370-page bill, the “Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024,” includes funding for both Israel and Ukraine, plus decidedly insufficient provisions for addressing aliens and immigration.
The backers of the Senate bill seek to portray its provisions as, in the words of Joe Biden, the “toughest and fairest set of border reforms in decades.” There is little that is “tough” in the bill, however, and what is can easily be sidestepped — either by the Biden administration or the throngs of illegal aliens invading from the south.
Consider, for instance, the “emergency authority” the bill would grant to the secretary of homeland security to “summarily remove” aliens. But that authority only arises if the number of encounters with aliens at the border averages 4,000 for seven consecutive days or more than 8,500 in any one day.
Beyond the flood of aliens allowed to enter the United States without triggering the emergency authority, the statutory exemptions gut the secretary’s authority. Specifically, the bill provides that the border emergency authority cannot be used against “an unaccompanied alien child,” so every illegal alien who is under 18 — or can pass as someone who is under 18 — will be allowed in.
