Sure, if by that you mean the side calling it the biggest issue facing the nation gets a big chunk of what they want in the bill and the other side gets nothing yet the side claiming it's a big deal then says nope.
So it turns out Johnson is not acting in good faith. Just another Trump puppet.
i saw a report that Katie Britt has come out against this bill. I could not be any more disappointed by a politician representing me than I am with her. Her centrist posturing was all bs.
My discussion with her office later today will revolve around her backstabbing Langford on behalf of someone like Trump. Not to mention abandoning our allies when they need us most.

remember, they're doing the lord's work and governing based on their conservative christian values
Maybe they will all turn into pillars of salt, it would serve them right. They were warned not to look to Trump for direction. But they turned and looked at him anyway.
Only in 2024 would $100 billion in foreign aid tied to a bill be 'nothing'.
LOL, no wonder this country is in so much debt...
But yeah, we should definitely throw out the baby with the bathwater. 🤣

Who gets to decide who is an asylum seeker?
Exclusive | NYC launches $53M program to hand out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families
The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers with the cards as they arrive at the Roosevelt Hotel, according to city records.nypost.com
Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families being put up in Big Apple hotels, The Post has learned.
The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city records.
The amount on each card will vary depending on the size of the family and whether any income is coming in, according to the details of the contract. A family of four, for instance, could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which comes out to $35 per day for food. Cards will get refilled every 28 days.
News of the pre-paid card program comes a day after The Post revealed another $137 million in contracts with city hotels to provide more than 750 rooms to asylum seekers with families.
The city is housing just over 66,000 asylum seekers after 1,500 more arrived last week as part of a crisis that is expected to cost $10 billion through 2025.
How can an asylum seeker pass through numerous countries to arrive at the US? Seems like they may have an alternative agenda if they pass up asylum in the other countries.

At this point basically everyone crossing the border is asking for asylum because they've been informed of our laws are being 'enforced'.
What is everyones opinion on this new immigration/foreign aid bill? Republicans seem to have gotten much of what they wanted. Trump doesn't like it because he doesn't want Biden, who is comprising, to have a win so the gutless Rs are now opposing it. For me, its certainly less than perfect but its a step in the right direction and should be passed.
In my opinion we should tax the rich and use the money to defend our country and national interests. We can’t afford to let Putin disrupt Europe any more than he already has.
I mean, that's a fine short-term solution, but you can tax the rich at 100% and you're not going to cover one year of our current spending. We have to figure out what's important and shift funds (in addition to revamping the tax code) accordingly.
Without SOME effort to balance the budget there will always be 'emergencies' and 'dangers' that require massive spending, so they'll just increase taxation and continue to increase our debt.
I'd rather not continue to be part of the problem the boomers have saddled us with.
I think you are underestimating the revenue we could raise with a tax system closer to what we used to have. The top income tax rate reached above 90% from 1944 through 1963,
How many times have you heard a conservative pine for how things were in the good old days?
Implement a wealth tax. Make people pay into the Social Security system based on their income and get rid of the existing cap. Quit prioritizing the interests of the most wealthy at the expense of everybody else.
We’ve seen our Supreme Court bought and paid for. Enough is enough.
I was talking about the immigration portion of the bill, but OK.
ETA: the border portion was only added to get republicans onboard with the rest.

Ryan says a 100 percent tax on millionaires would only fund government for four months
In the view of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., the government should limit the subsidies given to the wealthy through Socia

The reality is yes, the 'rich' need to pay more. No question. But unless we start cutting our rampant spending, there's no chance we can make up the difference.
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) responds to Elon Musk's criticism of the border bill that Republicans and Democrats in the Senate negotiated to try and address the surge in migrants at the US-Mexico border.
(Musk claims the long term goal of the bill is to enable illegal immigrants to vote, which is in no way true, of course)
And the House is set to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary over an issue the House refuses to pass enabling legislation today. On its face it's ridiculous. In context it becomes comical.
In my opinion Paul Ryan discredited himself when he was the Speaker.
