Senate's Bipartisan Border Bill is Officially Dead | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Senate's bipartisan border bill is officially dead after Republicans voted against it, even starting that means there won't be any Congressional action until after the November election at least. Democrats blame Trump, and some Senate Republicans are calling out their leadership. It didn't even take a day for Republicans to line up in opposition, claiming the bill would make the border crisis worse. But Democrats say all Republicans care about it getting a political win for President Trump and the GOP party. Senator Chuck Schumer says, "Within 24 hours of releasing the long-awaited, bipartisan compromise that our Republicans demanded as a condition to move Ukraine forward, Leader McConnell and the Republican Conference did a 180 degree reversal." Senator Chris Murphy says, "They have decided they want to keep the chaos at the border because it is a political win for them. They have decided against a bipartisan breakthrough that could have, would have fixed the border, that would have fixed a broken asylum system. This is heartbreaking." Republicans defend their actions saying President Biden has the tools right now to solve the border crisis, like end catch and release, and re-instate the Remain in Mexico Policy, but won't. They say this border deal comes up short. Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales reports. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
