Senate Republicans Vow to Block Bipartisan Border Security Deal | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Senate has become ground zero for border politics once again. Republicans are vowing to block the same bipartisan border security deal as they did months ago. The question is why bring up the bill a second time when it is not going to pass. Both sides are saying they don't expect the bill will even survive a procedural vote tomorrow. Senator James Lankford, the chief Republican who negotiated the deal, claims Democrats want Americans to think they care about the border when he says they're the ones who wiped out Trump Era policies that kept the borders secure. Senator Lankford, "Many of us, including myself, who worked on the original language are saying 'why'. This is not about trying to pass something, this is about a show vote in this body to say look we tried to pass something but those mean Republicans blocked it." Not so, say Democrats, including Senator Chris Murphy, who was also involved in those original talks.
