Senate Democrats at odds with Schumer over border talks: 'Terribly mistaken'

Some progressive Democrats are at odds with Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., over the ongoing negotiations that aim to add stricter border policy provisions in the national supplemental package.

On Friday, White House officials, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Ct., Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., and aides to Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., met in the Capitol for the second time this week to continue negotiations.

But the discussions are not sitting well with several Democratic senators, who worry that their party will make too many concessions to Republican demands for policy changes.

"If [Schumer] thinks he can send us home for the weekend, quietly cave to Republicans’ anti-immigrant demands while nobody is watching, and then ambush Democrats expecting us to vote yes with a smile, he is TERRIBLY MISTAKEN," Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., — who is facing federal bribery charges — wrote on X on Thursday.

"[Schumer]and those Democrats who are contemplating these proposals need to understand that these Trumpian policies will do nothing to address our challenges at the border and will only exacerbate the problem. Immigration advocates should speak up — HELL NO is the message," he continued.

Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., told Axios that what Democrats are hearing "is very concerning."

Former House Rep. Beto O'Rourke, who is now running for governor of Texas, said on X: "If Democrats agree to these failed Trump immigration policies" it will cause increased crossing attempts, more migrant deaths and "depressed enthusiasm from progressive voters."
