Wrong.
Trump sabotaged a strong bipartisan immigration bill worked on by Republican James Lankford and Kyrsten Sinema.
This is what makes Trump's actions pertaining to the Lankford/Sinema immigration bill so disgusting. He pressured congressional Republicans to block a major immigration bill, then used illegal immigration against his Democratic rival in the 2024 election. He ranted about Harris supporting open borders when he was the one who decided that it was more important for the southern border to remain “open” so he could use the problem to become president.
He and the MAGA Republicans created a false narrative about the immigration bill. For example, Representative Scalise claimed the bill allowed 5,000 illegals to enter this country before anything was done. That false information was repeated by pundits and by Trump himself.
“Only a fool, or a Radical Left Democrat, would vote for this horrendous Border Bill, which only gives Shutdown Authority after 5000 Encounters a day.” The problem with their opinion was that the bill detained, screened, and then deported the first 5,000. If there were more than 5,000, then all illegals were detained and deported. The bill also gave “discretionary activation” to Homeland Security if there was an average of 4,000 per day over a 7-day period. If we put that in perspective,
border encounters reached the 4,000 average in 2019 during the Trump administration.
