There was a bipartisan bill that Biden vowed to sign. It was torpedod at the last minute by candidate Trump to deny Biden a win, despite it having many of the things Republicans wanted.
- newfriend 2y agoThis is not accurate, but it is a commonly pushed narrative by certain biased media. That bill was negotiated in secret by three senators, including one Republican senator. When the text of the bill was finally released, the contents were much different than expected. You can listen to Republican senators talking about the bill as soon as the text was released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf4EzoWR944 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf4EzoWR944 And you can listen to the Speaker talking about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii0tl8d5G3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii0tl8d5G3g It's not like this bill had wide support, and then Trump said something and everyone pulled back. That's just a fabrication meant to give the Democrats campaign talking points. Also the House passed a border security bill in 2023, which has been blocked by the Democrat controlled Senate.
