President Joe Biden blamed former President Donald Trump and “MAGA Republicans” for the broken border system and his administration’s expected failure to convince Congress to pass a $118 billion bill that would allot $20 billion for border security but $60 billion for Ukraine.
“Now, all indications are this bill won’t even move forward to the Senate floor. Why? A simple reason: Donald Trump,” Biden said during a public address on Tuesday.
He claimed that Trump thinks the bill is “bad for him politically,” and, therefore, it is being opposed by Republicans in the House and Senate.
He also put all the blame on Trump for the record levels of illegal immigrants streaming through the border, not his own policies and lack of enforcement of the law.
“Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends,” he said.
“It’s time for Republicans in Congress to show courage, to show spine, to make it clear to the American people that you work for them, not for anyone else. I know who I work for — I work for the American people,” he claimed.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) plans to bring the Senate border bill to the floor on Wednesday, but Republicans are poised to block it.
The bill would give the administration the ability to expel illegal immigrants, but only if an average threshold of border crossers is reached.

So the Biden administration allowed the border to fail in order to convince congress to act; and some how that's Trump's fault?

So there was this guy that wanted funding for building a wall on the southern border.
He was denied requested funding.
Now it’s his fault that the border is a submarine with a screen door.
That’s for sure biden logic.😂

Either way, it’s an established fact that Trump has told Republicans not to pass any bill related to the border, simply because Trump wants it to be as chaotic as possible so he can campaign on it.
He doesn’t care about the border, he just wants to use the issue as a political football for his own selfish benefit.
Make America Gullible Again!

What would be the point, you wouldn’t accept the source any way.
Republicans blocked a border bill that they themselves negotiated. How much more evidence do you need?
