Former President Trump praised the demise of the bipartisan border
deal Friday, taking credit helping to tank the legislation that took
months to negotiate.
Trump urged Republicans to vote against the bill before it was
unveiled last Sunday, arguing its passage would be a political
victory for President Biden in the election-year matchup that is
likely to feature both men as their respective party nominees.
The former president took pleasure in contributing to the bill’s
failure Friday in remarks to members of the National Rifle
Association in Harrisburg, Pa.
“You give illegals taxpayer-funded lawyers, so they have millions of
dollars in this agreement, in this deal, which we by the way
killed,” Trump said during his speech, highlighted by Mediaite,
potentially referring to a measure in bill that would have provided
immigration lawyers to unaccompanied children under 13.
“I think we killed it. I think it’s dead! But you can never say it
because bad bills always come back to life because these guys make a
lot of money with bad bills,” he added. “But they give millions,
tens of millions of dollars that’s down there to lawyers to
represent the illegal immigrants that come into our country. It’s
not even believable.”
While some Senate Republicans took issue with Trump facilitating the
process of tanking the legislation, GOP leaders in the House stated
that the bill — negotiated by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Kyrsten
Sinema (I-Ariz.) and James Lankford (R-Okla.) — was already “dead on
arrival.”
The bill’s failure comes after Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell (R-Ky.) argued earlier this week that the deal would crack
down on the huge flow of migrants across the border and possibly
would be the last chance for years to reform immigration law.
But, he faced a big political headwind from Trump, who called on GOP
lawmakers to reject any deal that didn’t give them “everything” they
wanted.
Republicans backed away from the package Tuesday, deriding the
process used to write the legislation and heaping criticism on
provisions they claimed would allow 5,000 migrants into the country
each day — an issue Republican negotiators ultimately could not
refute.
