The grand ole’ party is putting their foot down on border security, y’all! It’s a showdown at the border corral as Republicans are saying “not so fast” to any new spending bill until those pesky Democrats agree to some major changes. Sen. Lindsey Graham is sounding the alarm, shouting from the rooftops that a whopping 10,000 illegal immigrants are flooding the border every day, setting records faster than a cheetah on roller skates.
'We're united': GOP senators say no Ukraine money without major border changes https://t.co/x82qOIKGuq

He’s not holding back, folks. Graham is pointing fingers at those darn Democrats, saying they’re refusing to rein in ol’ President Biden’s “parole” powers that are basically rolling out the red carpet for illegal immigration. Talk about a wild west showdown, am I right?
Lindsey Graham is raising the roof, calling out the Democrats for playing political games with their wishy-washy border policies. He’s accusing them of trying to sweet talk a few Republicans into sipping the Kool-Aid in exchange for more foreign aid. But, Graham and his Republican posse are standing strong, shouting from the hilltops that they ain’t falling for it.
Meanwhile, President Biden is waving around a $100 billion emergency spending bill, with a chunk of change headed over yonder to Ukraine for their tiff with Russia. But hold your horses, folks, because ol’ Joe wants a cool $14 billion for the border too. The Republicans are giving him the side-eye, saying, “That money is just for processing illegal immigrants, not stopping ’em from crossing over.”
And as if that ain’t enough, there’s a wild tussle going on in the Senate over changes to the asylum system. Seems like the Democrats are dragging their boots on tightening up the ship, particularly when it comes to reeling in Mr. Biden’s “parole” powers. It’s a real hoedown, y’all.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is stirring up some trouble too, using those ‘parole’ powers to let in all sorts of folks without a visa. The Democrats seem to be wearing some rose-colored glasses when it comes to handing out that parole, with over 95% of applications getting the green light.
So, folks, it’s a real standoff at the border. The Republicans are saddling up, ready to wrangle those Democrats into making some big changes before they’ll even think about letting a spending bill ride off into the sunset. Yeehaw!
