”Speaker Johnson: Border bill is ‘even worse than we expected”
“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) slammed the Senate’s bipartisan border deal hours after the upper chamber released text of the long-awaited agreement, writing that it is “even worse than we expected” and declaring it “dead on arrival” in the House”
“Sen. James Lankford (Okla.), the lead GOP negotiator on the border deal, responded to Johnson’s decision almost immediately, saying he was “confused” how the bill could be worse than they expected.”
“I’m a little confused how it’s worse than they expected when it builds border wall, expands deportation flights, expands ICE officers, border patrol officers, detention beds, how it creates a faster process for deportations, clears up a lot of the long-term issues and loopholes that have existed in the asylum law and then gets us an emergency authority that stops the chaos right now on the border,” he said on a call with reporters.”

Shocker, Mikey kissed the Messiah’s ass, again
Irony is that, as Lindsey said, the Democrats will never concede so much on the border again, and certainly not under a Trump Presidency, this is the best compromise bill either side could ever hope to attain
And as far as the bullshit of the President issuing EOs to close the border, Trump tried that and the few times he attempted the order was held up in one Court or another indefinitely, not a prescription for anyone who wanted to address the issue
As I said, the GOP, bowing down to their Master, really don’t give a rat’s ass about the border
