Dear John,
As the political landscape shifts, a storm brews within the Republican party over a $118 billion bipartisan Amnesty-border deal and foreign aid package. With a crucial Senate vote looming, the bill's future hangs in the balance, as GOP infighting threatens to derail not only a congressional response to the border crisis but also vital aid to Israel.
It's up to us to make sure this Amnesty bill is dead on arrival! Please click and act today and every day until this bill is killed on the floor!
Former President Donald Trump has launched relentless attacks on the proposed deal. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, echoes Trump's sentiment, stating that the bill would be dead on arrival in the House if it manages to navigate through the Senate.
The grim outlook for the bill is further emphasized by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who declared that the deal "will not become law" due to Johnson's staunch opposition and concerns within the Senate GOP conference. In a robust discussion, it became clear that the bill faces significant hurdles in gaining the necessary support.
Keep Up the Heat! Your Actions Are Saving Our Country.
Two prominent members of Senate GOP leadership, John Thune and John Barrasso, dealt a severe blow to the deal by announcing their intention to vote against it in an initial procedural vote. This development adds another layer of complexity to a deal negotiated by Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, historically known for a more conservative stance, yet now cooperating with Sen. Schumer, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy.
Senate GOP whip John Thune has expressed his intention to vote against proceeding with the bill on Wednesday, emphasizing that blocking the package will be the "predominate position" of GOP senators.
Barrasso, chairman of the Senate GOP Conference, issued a statement indicating his inability to support the bill, asserting that Americans will turn to the upcoming election to address the border crisis.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has seized on the opportunity to criticize Senate Republicans, accusing them of acting on Trump's marching orders regarding his Amnesty package. Schumer's remarks hint at the underlying tensions within the GOP, where allegiance to Trump and adherence to conservative values are in constant flux.
Schumer's criticism of Senate Republicans for opposing his Amnesty package reflects a broader partisan clash over immigration policies. Accusing them of acting on Trump's directives is a diversion from the fact that many Republicans, guided by their commitment to America First and MAGA principles, inherently reject amnesty-driven solutions.
Senator James Lankford, the primary negotiator, expressed disappointment in his colleagues. Lankford's stance raises questions about the unity within the GOP, especially as he navigates a dance with the devil on supporting an Amnesty plot seen by critics as a pathway to uncontrolled, codified mass immigration.
The bill's potential failure raises concerns about the fate of aid to Israel, as many Republican senators had initially demanded these issues be paired together. The Democrats, seizing the opportunity, have outflanked Republicans with what some label a bait-and-switch border bill, exploiting the internal divisions within the GOP.
As the controversy unfolds, House Speaker Mike Johnson pushes for a stand-alone Israel aid package, but even this effort is on the brink of collapse amid opposition from far-right Republicans and Democratic leaders. President Joe Biden's administration signals that he would veto a House standalone aid package for Israel, adding another layer of complexity to the already tumultuous political landscape. Only grassroots can power this bill through and shame the President into signing the bill by making it too hot not too touch!
The stakes couldn’t be higher!
