Biden Blackmail Intensifies: Won't Shut Border Until Congress Coughs Up Ukraine, Israel Funds​

As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border - but only if if Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and would still allow as many as 150,000 illegal crossings per month.

"If that bill were the law today I'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly and bring a bipartisan bill that would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here," Biden said, according to Fox News' Chad Pergram.

Except, as many have pointed out, Biden doesn't need Congress, or the bill, to do that right now.

As we noted yesterday, House Speaker Mike Johnson debunked the claim, saying "President Biden falsely claimed yesterday he needs Congress to pass a new law to allow him to close the southern border, but he knows that is untrue."

"As I explained to him in a letter late last year, and have specifically reiterated to him on multiple occasions since, he can and must take executive action immediately to reverse the catastrophe he has created," Johnson continued.

Last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) hit back against a Monday ruling by the Supreme Court which allows the Biden administration to cut razor wire that the state had installed along the US-Mexico border, while a broader lawsuit over the wire plays out. In fact, Texas responded by installing more razor wire.

Congress Hops To

Instead of forcing Biden to simply wave his pen and start securing the border, a bipartisan group of lawmakers simply can't let a good opportunity for pork go to waste, and are 'on the verge' of striking a deal with the Biden administration that would enact 'sweeping new border controls,' according to CBS News.

After weeks of closed-door negotiations, the White House and a trio of senators could unveil an agreement as early as this week, the sources said, requesting anonymity due to the private nature of the conversations. The bill is designed to reduce the unprecedented levels of illegal crossings recorded along the southern border in the past three years.
While GOP Sen. James Lankford, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy and independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema are close to finalizing the compromise with the White House, any bipartisan immigration proposal would face an uphill battle in the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson and other conservative lawmakers have pushed for even stricter changes to the asylum system.

The agreement would give the executive branch new legal authority to effectively suspend asylum between official ports of entry after migrant crossings reach certain levels in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. When this authority is invoked, illegal immigrants would face swift deportation to Mexico or their home country, unless they qualify to stay following screenings for 'humanitarian refuge.'

There's a Catch...

The bipartisan rule still allows migrant crossings to hit an average of 5,000 per day, or 8,500 in a single day, before the power would be mandated. So, there would still be up to 150,000 illegal crossings permitted monthly.

No word from CBS whether the Sunday bipartisan package includes Ukraine or Israel funds.

Since when does allowing 150,000 illegal crossing a MONTH, equal a closed border? He must be using the new math. Or he thinks we're delusional.

And while I'm on my rant, why is he putting restrictions of everything in the name of climate change and green everything, when he's allowing unrestricted migration into this country? Doesn't he know they come with a carbon footprint? They have two feet, they eat, they poop, they breathe, and they consume, and since they came with nothing, they need to consume quite a bit, or have it provided at taxpayer expense. Not very green of him.

Sorry, rant off. Had to get that off my chest.

Sigh. I think I'll throw another log into the woodstove.

"fix our broken immigration system"

And guess who is the breaker of said system. I will give them this, they are brazen and really good at holding a straight face when they lie.

Good rant, Pinecone. I think, and could be wrong, that TPTB assume that the illegals and us the citizens will tear each other apart over resources, so we're all dead meat, both us & the illegals. It's to collapse our entire society. (Europe, too. The whole West.) After the majority of us are gone, they can institute their longed-for utopia with the survivors as a literal slaves. Whoever's left will have no choice but to submit. This is their despicable apocalyptic dream. Like I said, I could be wrong, but it's what I imagine.

He very well understands his own power. How many decades has America suffered under this political hack before his s(election)? The Constitution tells him what his job is- he is willfully ignoring it and putting all Americans in danger.

They keep thinking we're stupid (we're not) and that we're good hearted and will cut him some slack (after most of my life lived under this BS, my heart is like an ice cube) No f* given. All out. Sorry.

Not like china joe will secure the border anyway. Everyone knows he is only willing to increase border funding so he can process more illegals faster. Funny how you regularly read about individuals being arrested and charged with human smuggling when our border patrol and dhs are doing the SAME thing at the taxpayers expense.

FJB, as per usual, has it backwards.

He closes the border down FIRST! Then, he gets his graft.

I watched him yesterday, shuffling stiffly along in his light blue sweater. I'm almost his age and have bad knees (OK virtually no knees ) and I walk better than he does!

If he isn't the highest paid Pinko Sellout to the largest consortium of anti American sentiment anywhere he'll do until we ID the new winner.

And that larcenous amoral puke he's always claiming to be proud of?
Yeah just further proof anything named Biden is questionable at best and always on the block to the highest covert bidder.

Biggest human trafficking operation in history.

My opinion of course.

So.

The desiccated demented pedophile is committing treason by not doing his job on the border (for all of his administration) while trying to use that as leverage to cover up his criminal actions in Ukraine while he was VP.

Got it.

Of course, he and his lawyers are counting on the Republikrats to not have any cojones or backbone. Pretty solid bet as far as history is concerned, sadly.

With Eagle pass this is a losing approach. If the states invoke the consitutional rights for defense despite federal interference, the issue becomes moot.

This can become a lose lose situation for the administration.

Plus if they botch things too badly on the border they will end up becoming persona non grata around the border and will be relegated to staying out of the hot spots...

Even if Biden got all the money on earth for Israel and Ukraine, he's still not going to close the border. Don't kid yourselves.

If the repubs in the house and senate had any sense of the Republic (they don't), they'd tell FJB they find his terms acceptable. We don't need to be farting around in Ukraine and Israel is more than capable of taking care of itself. She has many backers with money and the world is awash with all manner of arms and munitions.
As far as the open boarder, it seems to be closing in Texas. New Mexico, Arizona, and California could follow on their own if they put their minds to it. I doubt they will. Just keep sending the illegals to the sanctuary suckers and let them wail to FJB.

I have found through experience that in a negotiation, the one who cares the least usually wins.
