Democrat Says GOP May Block Funds for Biden's Migration
|
Perhaps Biden should sanction the NGOs supporting the migration.
[Breitbart] A top Democrat is complaining that some GOP Senators oppose President Joe Biden’s demand for at least $15 billion in emergency funds to house and hide his migration wave in Americans’ cities and towns.
“I’m increasingly worried that Republicans aren’t committed to funding the deal on the appropriations side as a way to potentially undermine it,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), told reporters, adding:
He says it like it’s a bad thing.
If you support this deal, then you need to support the funding necessary to get it done….
if you want to stand up a new emergency power at the border, you have to fund it. That doesn’t happen for free.
Murphy has been the top Democratic senator in the migration talks with the White House, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), and the GOP leadership.
The Senate’s Majority Leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), announced Thursday that he would force a vote on the border bill by Wednesday, February 7. The bill — and the associated check for migration spending — may be released on February 2.
The current dispute over migration rules began in August when Biden’s deputies asked for $14 billion extra to help bus and fly migrants into shelters and workplaces throughout the United States. The migration funding request is tied to extra funding for Ukraine’s war with Russia.
The funding is a top issue for Biden and his D.C. Democrats, and also for the many Democratic governors and mayors whose budgets are being drained by the migrants’ rational use of their “sanctuary city” laws.
“If the Democrats don’t get their funding, they’re going to continue to have the optics at the southern border because they’re not going to be able to hide [migrants] quickly,” said Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project.
If there is no additional funding in 2024, local TV stations will spend much time showing the impact of Biden’s migration on voters’ local schools, housing, shelters, budgets, and crime. The TV coverage will amplify local debates over migration — and likely damage Democrat candidates in the November election.
But a large block of funds, said Chmielenski, would help Biden’s deputies quickly disperse migrants from the border and also “get the Democratic big city Mayors off of Biden’s back,” he told Breitbart News.
A January poll of swing states showed that 53 percent of respondents said they see “much more” or “somewhat more” migration into their community. The January 16-22 poll of 4,956 registered voters was conducted by Morning Consult for Bloomberg. The same poll shows that 61 percent of voters blame Biden for the disaster.
