Florida GOP Senators Being Urged to Vote No on Border Deal with White House

Florida’s Marco Rubio and Rick Scott are being urged by House Speaker Mike Johnson to vote against any Biden/Senate Democrat bill on border security.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told Republicans in the U.S House that he will not support any type of border legislation coming from talks between the White House and the U.S. Senate and is encouraging GOP Senators like Florida’s Marco Rubio and Rick Scott to vote against it.

Chris Chmielewski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project, says the bill does nothing to prevent illegal immigration but instead encourages more to people to come.

It looks like some Republicans in the U.S. Senate are going along with the Democrats to accomplish a border deal.

According to Eric Ruark, the Director of Research for NumbersUSA, Several GOP Senators are working with President Biden and Democratic leader Chuck Senator Schumer to “prolong the border crisis and make any future fix much more difficult.”

Currently, this is what’s inside the border deal:

1) Increase green cards by 50,000/year

2) Work permits for adult children of H-1B holders

3) Immediate work permits to every illegal alien released from custody

4) Taxpayer funded lawyers to certain UACs and mentally incompetent aliens

5) Expulsion authority for a limited number of days ONLY if encounters exceed 5k/day over a seven-day period

6) Restricts parole for those who enter without authorization between ports of entry.

One of the chief opponents of these talks is Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). He says the current language being proposed will continue to allow illegal immigration into the U.S.

As of now, it looks like the Biden/Senate Democrat bill will pass with the help of Senate Republicans.

One GOP Senator said that 25-30 members of the U.S. Senate will vote against the legislation with. ‘Some will be because it didn’t go too far. The others will be [saying] it didn’t go far enough … But we need about 70 votes coming out of this chamber to create the momentum to get it done in the House,” said the Senator
