WATCH LIVE: Senate Republicans give remarks on border security bill

Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), are slated to give remarks Wednesday morning on the border security deal, pushing back against the bipartisan deal that was unveiled earlier this year.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) plans to hold a vote to advance the legislation Thursday, but no Republican senator has said they will vote for it. The deal, introduced in February, was even endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Republicans cited President Biden’s decision to stop construction of the border wall, expand the parole of migrants into the country and end the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy in threatening to block the bill from advancing to debate. They also argued that they do not expect to get a chance to amend it with proposals they said would make it stronger.

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EST.

  1. It’s sad when other countries laugh at our leaders lol and it shows how they can cover up whatever they want cause when a president can’t keep on subject for over 30 secs ! Something is wrong ! Fact is this man was not voted in ! lol our system is corrupted and keeps getting worse and shows how much power corps have to stain anyone they can to keep there power

  2. Why would they want to stop "asylum seekers?" How else are they going to bump up their numbers for congressional and electoral college apportionment in states where people are fleeing by the bus load during the next census?
