I Am So Sick of "The Bill"

Tweet

Since 9 months ago, the Democrats have been waving this bipartisan border bill over Trump's head, as well as over Republican's heads in general. But it's a ruse, folks. It's smoke and mirrors. It's also a lie. Not that the bill was bipartisan in nature (although not bipartisan enough to be passed by both sides, and for good reason, mind you). The lie is that the bill was needed in order to secure the border. What people fail to understand is that how we got here. To this border crisis. How we got here is that on day one, Joe Biden rescinded all of Trump's border policies via executive orders. No run through Congress. No need for a bill to be passed. It was all done with a signature on day one. Why is that significant? Because if you can rescind orders via executive order you can also restore orders, or at the very least, create new ones that accomplish whatever the goal is you want to accomplish. Beyond the contents of the bill also being a ruse and not securing the border, plus hamstringing any future president to be able to secure the border via executive order, its purpose was only to offer the appearance that the right was not actually serious about securing the border. Part of the reason the bill came about in the first place was because the Biden administration looked at the polls and realized that their border policies were unfavorable, and the border issue became a top concern of voters who were clearly on Trump's side on this issue. They needed something to drive a wedge between their failed policies on the border and the more popular policies of Trump. Only until recently, 3 years after the Trump border policies were rescinded, has Harris even acknowledged that the border is even an issue. Before the bill she told us time and time again, right alongside Biden, "The border is secure." The bill is nothing more than a spin game, and I think most Americans understand that. I think they also understand that on day one of Trump's second term in office, he won't need the bill either, and will put his policies back into place exactly the way he did it the first time, and exactly the way Biden and Harris could have done it this time. Don't let the bill fool you. It was never meant to fix the border. It was meant to kick the can ahead and use it as a distraction, because the way it was formed, no one in their right mind could have passed it, and they knew that the minute the bill was put to its final draft for a vote.
