As the prospects for success of the Senateās border bill seem to be fading fast, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is now reduced to making threats against Americans in a desperate bid to force the bill to pass.
Appearing on MSNBC on Monday, the New York Democrat had a laundry list of warnings about how the world will erupt in flames if he doesnāt get his open borders policies passed. And each proclamation was more shrill than the last as he worked to push the bill that co-sponsor, Oklahoma GOP Sen. James Lankford, is being slammed for due to the billās mass amnesty scheme.
To kick off the segment with Schumer, the hopelessly left-wing āMorning Joeā host Mika Bzezinski expressed her shock that the bill ā which she absurdly termed āas bi-partisan as it getsā ā was having so much opposition from Republicans. Apparently, she doesnāt see the contradiction in her proclaiming something as ābi-partisanā that is facing stiff opposition from the Republican side. It sure doesnāt seem all that ābi-partisanā now does it, Mika?
Schumer started his comments talking about how gosh darn hard he was working to let millions of illegals stream across the border unchecked. Why, he even had to take a phone call at midnight, he said in faux exasperation.
But he soon got to his written out talking points that he disgorged on MSNBNC.
āWeāre at a turning point in America,ā Schumer said gravely as he delved into his canned speech. āThis bill is crucial, and history will look back on it and say, āDid America fail itself?'ā
Showing that the border in this border bill is an afterthought, Schumerās first warning was about Ukraine. The āborderā bill seeks another $60 billion of our tax dollars to go into the bottomless pit of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
āIf we donāt aid Ukraine, Putin will walk all over Ukraine. We will lose the war, and we could be fighting in Eastern Europe a NATO ally in a few years. Americans wonāt like that,ā Schumer exclaimed.
Next, Schumer warned about Israelās actions against the terrorists in Gaza.
āIf we donāt help Israel defend itself against Hamas, that perpetual war will go on, and on, and on,ā he said, adding, āIf we donāt help humanitarian aid to the starving Palestinians in Gaza, hundreds of thousands could starve.ā
So, one has to wonder, if Schumer and the Democrats are so worried about helping Israel to wipe out Hamas, why is Joe Biden threatening to veto a stand-alone bill that sends aid to Israel?
Finally, Schumer got to the border issue.
āAnd the border ā everyone has said itās chaos ā you just saw Speaker Johnson, he said itās chaos, we have to do something legislative a few months ago.ā
We donāt actually need new legislation to fix the border problem, though. What we need is a president who obeys the law and enforces the rules we already have. Biden could shut down the border, ramp up deportations, end all the financial welfare heās handing out to illegals, and put an end to their ability to get jobs with the powers he already has at his disposal. But he is not doing any of that.
Worse, Schumerās bill allows millions more illegals to stream across the border, which will make matters even worse. This bill doesnāt end any border chaos. All it does if pump up the volume of the siren call to all nations telling them that Americaās border is wide open and all comers can get everything for free once they get here.
Naturally, Schumer then went on to blame his favorite boogeyman ā Donald Trump ā who opposes this monstrosity.
āBut what has happened in answer to your question ā so this is crucial for America, itās a turning point. History is going to look over our shoulders and say, āDid we rise to the occasion?ā To his credit, Mitch McConnell did. But too many Republicans, including Speaker Johnson, are just scared to death of Donald Trump,ā the Senate Democrat railed.
āDonald Trump has said he wants chaos. Donald Trump has said, āWell, wait ātil I become president.ā Thatāll take at least a year, Ukraine could be gone, the border will get much worse, war in the Middle East will get worse, maybe bringing us into it. Heās doing it all for political reasons,ā he blared.
This, of course, is a lie. Donald Trump has never said, āI want chaos on the border.ā Indeed, he has railed against the chaos going on at the border and rightly pointed out time and again that this chaos did not exist when he was president because he used the tools available to him to quell the chaos.
Schumer finished, again claiming āhistoryā is looking down on us, saying, āWill the senators drown out the political noise from Trump and his minions and do the right thing for America? Itās a crucial question, history is looking down on every one of us right now.ā
Speaker Johnson and many Republicans in the House of Representatives have said this bill is dead on arrival. And it well should be. Not only is the bill unnecessary ā Biden already has all the power he needs to fix the border, but has elected not to ā but the bill actually makes the border problems worse.
