Haley: ‘Irresponsible’ Republicans Killing Border Bill to Help Trump — ‘You Don’t Sacrifice National Security’

Pam Key 5 Feb 2024

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Monday on FNC’s “Your World” that Republicans are being “irresponsible” with national security” by killing the bipartisan border deal because of former President Donald Trump’s criticisms.

Anchor Neil Cavuto said, “You know, Donald Trump has famously said that Republicans should be ashamed of themselves. We’re going to have Senator Lankford with us shortly, who’s amazed at the response it’s getting and wondering if maybe that could be because Republicans, might feel that they’re in a better position not to have something like this, that it could help Joe Biden. It wouldn’t help them. How are you on this?”

Haley said, “There’s two things going on here, and we have to speak hard truths. First of all, everybody’s tired of a do-nothing Congress. I mean, can they do anything Because we’ve seen nothing out of Republicans or Democrats. They have an inability to get anything done. The second thing is you can’t have Trump sitting there saying, don’t do anything until the election. We have a completely open border. America is acting like it’s September 10th, and we better remember what September 12th felt like, because it only takes one person across that border to create a 9/11 moment. We need this fix now. We need congressional members to stay in D.C. and not leave until they figure this out. When I look at the border.”

She added, “They need to figure this out. They need to adjust it, amend it in any way that they can. And they should not leave D.C. until they get us a border bill. And no, we are not waiting until the general election to do this. And it’s irresponsible to say that Congress has to wait until a general election, because Trump is worried that he’s going to lose. There’s a lot of reasons we got to worry Trump’s going to lose, but you don’t sacrifice national security to do it.”

I just hate it when anyone, of any viewpoint, says stuff like that.

The issue isn't that they aren't willing to stay in Washington.  The issue is that they do not agree on what the proper solution is, and that's not going to change until the next election.

Republicans are killing alleged "Border Bill" because they know the Executive will welch on enforcement, like they are already doing.

Yup. Haley showed herself to be the Moderate wing NEOCON mouthpiece I predicted she was.

Bingo.  And by tossing more money at processing asylum hearings in front of Biden-appointed administrative judges, all we may get are more migrants deemed to be here legally.  And that's a crock.

This border bill is garbage.  Complete and total garbage.  Any time Chuck Schumer threatens us with a war with Russia if we don't pass the bill, you know that the bill represents a huge win for the Democrats.

Besides, hasn't Texas already proven that the border can be sealed with the laws we have now?

Haley clearly got ahead of her skis with this attempt to look "reasonable" because of McConnell withdrawing his support.  Now she's pretty much the only Republican out there supporting this.

LMAO if Lankford votes no.
