Trump tells Speaker Johnson stand tall on border security in funding deal, says 'invasion' must stop

“Former President Donald Trump is urging House Speaker Mike Johnson not to cave on the border deal, saying to "reject it" if it doesn't stop the flow of illegal immigrants at the southern border.

“I do not think we should do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION of Millions & Millions of people, many from parts unknown, into our once great, but soon to be great again, Country!” Trump wrote on TRUTH Social on Wednesday…



…Multiple conservatives spoke out against this deal, saying they weren't going to be pushed into it…”

Trump is right. The speaker must hold the line and stand tall for border security. HR 2 is the blue print to hold to.

 

All must pass spending democrats want must be attached to border security satisfactory to House GOP and Trump until they give it to us.

 

Why didn’t Trump do it when he was POTUS and had both chambers under his control?

 

Is that written in English by any chance…???

 

Trump doesn't hold office, he is irrelevant at this point.

 

You have to realize that in Trump supporters' minds, Trump already is president elect, and, therefore should call the shots.

Also, you can see that compromise is a dirty word for those extremists. For them, compromise means to get EVERYTHING they want. Just like coming together of the country means that EVERYONE 100% falls behind Trump's RW extremist agenda.

 

And then they wonder why nothing gets done. The abortion issue should have shown them what is at stake.

 

True. But he is insisting that Republicans hold the spending bill hostage in order to fix something that he had two years to fix.

 

Gettin a little taste of your own medicine eh? Yalls version of compromise for the past 15-20 years is for the republicans to grab their ankles. Pretty sure when Obama said, "elections have consequences" that was in direct response to criticism about the Dems not compromising with the republicans.

Sucks don't it?

 

He is the front runner, but in the end, Republicans will make the deal, otherwise they would take a hit in the elections.

 

Trump wants the economy to crash before the election, that is his goal

 

cause he knew it would crash the economy

 

Not compromising? I clearly remember that Obama wanted the public option for the ACA, but caved to republican opposition. And, then there was the sequester. You can't make a case that Obama didn't compromise. Of course, Obama haters claim he was a dictator. They claim a lot of things that just aren't so.

Oh, and btw: Obama had a much bigger mandate than Trump. He won the electoral college and the popular vote twice. Trump didn't win the popular vote ever.

 

Trump simply wants is as an election issue cudgel and his flock are only too happy to blame it all on the Biden Admin. The House Speaker kept pivoting to Biden using EOs....seriously EOs. So unitary power is Mike's pivot, by law is not the job of Congress. Amazing...

 

Glad to see you admit we have a border problem that needs fixing even though every democrat in the Biden admin says it’s secure.

 

Well, Biden did sign all those EOs on day one which opened up the border, you can’t deny that. And don’t forget, Biden is the guy who said only dictators use EOs to govern.

What is unbelievable to me is that we literally have to negotiate a deal with democrats to secure our border. Shouldn’t every democrat want a secure border?

 

And Joey also sent to Congress an Immigration bill in the first week of the Admin. I realize you must deflect but even the Trumpians in the Senate are on board except for ole' Trumpie , the divider and fear/anger stoker. Congress' job is to legislate not beg for EOs.

 

What were the details of that bill and why would Biden open up the border on day one if he had an immigration bill in mind? And I didn't deflect, you mentioned Biden and I responded.

 

Look it up, that's the House's job too. As for Joey opening up the border, that B/S hyper partisan talking point spin. Joe knocked off Trump's non congressional EOs, and sent an Immigration Bill to the House for legislation. Mike, Mr. Christian Johnson, can now vote on the Senate bipartisan proposed bill or do what Trump's wants, do nothing and give him a perceived election cudgel.

 

This is why Johnson must stand tall. Remember the lib motto when it came to the Obamacare debate and getting rid of guns: If it saves just one life....

 

“Compromise” is a dirty word for your side too. Do you think that enough illegals have crossed the border yet, or do you want more of them? If your answer is “No!” then you are against a compromise.

 

You're the one who mentioned Biden's bill, so send me a link. Also, why would Biden dismantle Trump's border progress before getting this alleged bill passed? Better still, why do we have to negotiate our border security? Any border securite bill should be a stand alone bill and not tied to giving money to Zelensky.

 

Jesus, Steve, self help is a cornerstone of "conservatism", note the date:

EOs are not legislation, the proposed law was sent to Congress to act by passing a new law. EOs are a bandaid, why did Trump have more migration than Obama? The trend was for more amnesty migration so the law needs fixing..

 

Any Executive Order that Biden on issued on border security is not a “bandaid.” They have been knives that cut the wound deeper. Biden and Mayorkas should be impeached, convicted and thrown out of office for refusing to enforce the laws that are on the books. Mayorkas has been nothing but a lying stooge who has done what he was told. Biden and the puppet masters who pull his strings are the real guilty parties.

 

The Speaker of the House should not be begging Biden for EOs when his JOB is to legislate laws. The Senate has a bipartisan bill for Johnson to act on but Crooked Donnie won't let puppet Mikey act on it....you should ask yourself why? Trump does not want the problem fixed before the election. Forget, Mayorkas, he's being used to anger you.
