Always an excuse. This was better than nothing by a long ways. Most of the items in there were Republican demands. The puppet Speaker demanded border addressed for Ukraine bill and now they pull this. The border is just a prop for them and we just screwed our ally. This The Republican way.
The bill they're proposing does nothing to make the border more secure. It's an attempt by Dems to create a talking point that "we tried but Rs don't want to fix the border."
The Republican architects of this bill are surely playing a dimension of chess our puny human brains can't comprehend.
No, it's not better than nothing. The House gave the Senate a bill to work from 8 months ago that addresses our border. The Senate sabotaged this by tying it to Ukraine, Israel, and all the slush fund provisions amounting to billions of dollars that will have to be borrowed. Meanwhile, Biden created part of the problem with his day one executive orders. If Biden wants to solve the problem, he can ask his buddies in the Senate to work with the House on a specific bill like the one they already passed.
This thread was a report on immigrants involved in the attack on two NYC police officers being arrested in Phoenix after fleeing NY.
The Border Union Rep announced they are for it.
That said, The Speaker not even willing to debate the Bill and possibly add amendments and send it back to the Senate is going to politically hurt the GOP in about nine months.
There's lots of feedback in the news from the rank and file. Most of those news sources are ridiculed here though. That doesn't even include the obvious right wing sources.
There are good things in the bill. The house should try to tweak it, vote, and send it back to the senate. Then Schumer will say DOA.
Local news is now reporting the migrants detained in Phoenix were not the same ones that assaulted the police officers in NYC.Arizona migrants arrested 'not affiliated' with NYPD attack case despite reports: DA
Four migrants arrested in Arizona Monday are "not affiliated" with the investigation into the brutal Times Square beating of two NYPD officers, despite earlier reports, according to the Manhattan DA.www.fox10phoenix.com
Several migrants suspected of attacking 2 NYPD officers reportedly arrested in Arizona
You have gone deep down the rabbit hole. You've been spiralling downward for awhile but I think you might be at the bottom of the hole.

Horrific video shows woman dragged along NYC street by migrant moped gang linked to dozens of brazen attacks, 62 grand larcenies
Horrific video shows woman dragged along NYC street by migrant moped gang linked to dozens of brazen attacks, 62 grand larcenies
The two suspects are allegedly part of a wider ring whose members are connected to 62 different instances of grand larceny, police sources told The Post.
The number of good things in the bill are far outweighed by the bad. So-called aid to Ukraine is 4 times more than US border security. Putting in triggers than can be ignored by the POTUS is just asinine. The trigger levels themselves are asinine.
They were “released” by a NYC DA…..nothing to do with the Feds….but dont let facts interfere with your agenda driven story. This issues=e is a State of NY problem and will resolved at that level.
