<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>, who is running another White House campaign, encouraged lawmakers on Wednesday to reject a not-yet-released bill that aims to combine border security reforms with aid for Ukraine and Israel.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111850705191478734" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to Truth Social from Trump took aim at one purported section that Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-border-bill-allow-5000-migrants-day-before-title-42-limit-starts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> would establish a threshold of a seven-day rolling average exceeding 5,000 encounters a day to trigger a Title 42-like authority to quickly remove migrants at the border.</p>
<p>&#8220;The illegal Aliens that are pouring into our Country are taking over our cities and attacking our police,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;They are forming gangs, and they are tough. Close the Border, you do not need a ridiculous Border Bill that will allow 5000 people into our Country a day. Call it the &#8216;Stupid Bill&#8217; and make sure it doesn’t get passed. It will make things MUCH WORSE. CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER, NO BILL NECESSARY!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>President Joe Biden’s request last year for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-lee-rallies-support-for-giving-senators-adequate-time-to-consider-border-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">roughly $106 billion</a> in supplemental funds to spend on U.S. allies — including Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan — as well as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/20/us/politics/biden-aid-israel-ukraine-taiwan-border.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border security and humanitarian assistance</a>, led to bipartisan Senate talks on attaching immigration reforms sought by Republicans. While Biden has encouraged the endeavor, Trump urged Republicans not to settle on a compromise.</p>
<p>“I do not think we should do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION of Millions &amp; Millions of people, many from parts unknown, into our once great, but soon to be great again, Country!” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111775026153711896" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to Truth Social earlier this month.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s sway within Congress is on the rise again following victories in the Iowa caucuses and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-wins-new-hampshire-gop-primary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the New Hampshire primary</a>. The former president still faces a challenge from former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, but Trump has garnered <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-gop-congress-rising-endorsements-2024-campaign-00500665cf592bc82ef3e7cee492094b#:~:text=So%20far%2C%20Trump%20has%20received,a%20disappointing%20finish%20in%20Iowa." target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsements</a> from a growing number of Republican lawmakers.</p>
<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-RY) has been supportive of the bipartisan talks. However, he reportedly told colleagues last week they face a &#8220;quandary&#8221; as Trump establishes himself as the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential contest. &#8220;The politics on this have changed,&#8221; he said, <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1750295162310349121" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Punchbowl News</a>, referring to Trump as “the nominee” and stressing, “We don’t want to do anything to undermine him.”</p>

<p>Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/johnson-speaks-trump-frequently-border-negotiations/story?id=106483545" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he has been in contact with Trump and indicated the Senate deal would be <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4431375-speaker-johnson-senate-border-deal-dead-on-arrival-in-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;dead on arrival&#8221;</a> in the GOP-led House if rumors about it proved true. In particular, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-draws-red-line-on-border-shutdown-authority" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he warned on X</a>, &#8220;Any border &#8216;shutdown&#8217; authority that ALLOWS even one illegal crossing is a non-starter.

<p>Two of the main negotiators in the upper chamber, Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-negotiators-wrapping-up-border-deal-push-back-on-internet-rumors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicated</a> this past weekend that they were close to finalizing a deal and felt good about the early feedback it was receiving. They also spoke about Trump&#8217;s sway in the matter.</p>
<p>Murphy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-negotiators-wrapping-up-border-deal-push-back-on-internet-rumors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CNN</a> the “bipartisan deal” may be in jeopardy if Republicans “listen to” Trump and reject the compromise. Lankford <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-the-nation-full-transcript-01-28-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CBS News</a> that he was &#8220;looking forward to President Trump having the opportunity to be able to read it, like everybody else has,&#8221; and noted there is &#8220;a lot of misinformation out there right now.&#8221;</p>
