<p>Senate Majority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mitch-mcconnell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitch McConnell</a> (R-KY) is reportedly urging Republicans in the Senate to vote against a border bill that was unveiled in the Democrat-controlled chamber on Monday.</p>
<p>House critics of the bill have warned that the $118 billion <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-border-never-closes-hot-takes-deliver-cool-reception-of-bipartisan-senate-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">package</a> is geared toward getting President Joe Biden re-elected in a prospective 2020 rematch against former President Donald Trump while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-blasts-controversial-senate-border-bill-legalizing-illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the bill &#8220;legalizes illegal immigration.&#8221;</p>
<p>Numerous Republican senators have already come out and voiced strong opposition the bill, leading McConnell to urge the remaining Republicans senators to block the bill.</p>
<p>&#8220;McConnell recommended to GOP senators behind closed doors that they BLOCK the border bill on Wednesday, per multiple sources, bc it’s clear that most Republicans are preparing to vote no — either because they oppose the bill or want more time,&#8221; reporter Andrew Desiderio wrote on X.</p>
<p>&#8220;McConnell explicitly recommended a NO vote on cloture on the motion to proceed, according to several attendees,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;McConnell said the problem isn’t what Lankford negotiated, it’s that the political mood in the country has changed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Top House Republicans signaled shortly after the bill was unveiled that it would be dead on arrival if it made it to the lower chamber.</p>
<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) killed the bill in a joint statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Among its many flaws, the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse, its language allowing illegals to be &#8216;released from physical custody&#8217; would effectively endorse the Biden &#8216;catch and release&#8217; policy.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;The so-called &#8216;shutdown&#8217; authority in the bill is anything but, riddled with loopholes that grant far too much discretionary authority to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas &#8211; who has proven he will exploit every measure possible, in defiance of the law, to keep the border open,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;The bill also fails to adequately stop the President&#8217;s abuse of parole authority and provides for taxpayer funds to fly and house illegal immigrants in hotels through the FEMA Shelter and Services Program.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;America&#8217;s sovereignty is at stake,&#8221; the statement concluded. &#8220;Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time. It is DEAD on arrival in the House. We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it.&#8221;</p>
