The latest effort for the Democrat Party to appear to take the border crisis they created seriously failed in the Senate yesterday, Thursday, May 23. The bill needed 60 votes to make it to the floor for a final vote but failed with only 43 Yes votes cast. The bill appears more about funding the continued distribution of invaders, illegal aliens, then actually stopping the planvasion from continuing.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said the bill “spends $20 billion to not secure the border, but to more efficiently encounter, process, and disperse illegal migrants.” Senator James Lankford (R-OK) said of the bill, “Everyone sees this for what it is. It is not an effort to actually make law, it is an effort to do political messaging.”
The bipartisan border bill failed in the U.S. Senate Thursday, even losing the support of two key negotiators who helped craft the legislation. This marked the second time the Senate voted against moving forward with the bill.
The vote on the border bill “is not an effort to actually make law, it is an effort to do political messaging,” Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., said Thursday ahead of the vote. Lankford worked to negotiate the bill with Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., but he and Sinema voted against the bill Thursday, criticizing the reintroduction of the bill as being politically motivated.
Sen. Lankford helped to craft the border bill, but voted against it today.
