President Biden on Thursday bashed Republicans for blocking the border security legislation in the Senate, arguing that the GOP doesn’t care about securing the U.S.’s southern border.
“Congressional Republicans do not care about securing the border or fixing America’s broken immigration system. If they did, they would have voted for the toughest border enforcement in history. Instead, today, they put partisan politics ahead of our country’s national security,” he said in a statement.
Senators voted 43 to 50 to take down the proposal, in a widely expected outcome, which marks the second time the legislation negotiated over the fall and winter by Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) has been blocked.
