With the release of the Senate's $106 billion supplemental aid and border security bill reportedly imminent, Republican Sen. Mike Lee (UT) not only wants nothing to do with the so-called "bipartisan" bill; he's also had enough of Senators Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell's "corrupt approach to legislating."
Lee fired off a lengthy X (formerly Twitter) post on Thursday, in which he thoroughly blistered both the bill—and Schumer and McConnell. He began by recounting a short conversation with a reporter. [Tweet]
Lee was surprised by his own quick reaction to the reporter's question about whether he'd be ready to vote for the bill by Tuesday.

McConnell is mortified. A Republican Representative is ripping him.

Nice to see Mitch McConnell being called out for his underhanded shenanigans. I'm pleased to see a Senator with courage to speak up. Senator Lee's RINO counterpart from Utah, Pierre Delicto, declined to run again--his poll numbers in Utah have been cratering for several years. He wasn't the conservative he claimed to be. Pierre never met a legislative action, measure, or bill on which he wouldn't compromise with the Left.

Biden does not need a new “border security bill” to secure the borderline. All Biden has to do to secure the borderline is to effectively enforce the current immigration law, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), that was passed by Congress that makes it unlawful for any illegal aliens to illegally enter the USA and that allows about a million and a half legal immigrants to enter the USA lawfully each year. The reason that Biden wants to change the immigration laws with his proposed “border security bill” is to load down that law with “poison pills” making it much harder to deport illegal aliens in the future. Biden also reportedly wants his proposed new immigration law not to be enforced until 5,000 illegal aliens are allowed into the USA every day, that equates to allowing over 1,800,000 illegal aliens into the USA every year on into the future. That is ridiculous and is like telling city law enforcement that they cannot enforce the law against bank robbers until after that city sustains a specific number of bank robberies every day. What Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats want to do, with wimpy Republican and RINO support, is grant a massive Democrat designed “path to citizenship” series of amnesties and legalization programs for tens of millions of poor and uneducated Third World origin illegal aliens, who under Democrat identity politics are considered to be members of recognized minority groups to permanently change the ethnic and racial population demographics of the country to the point where the country has a majority-minority population of both domestic and origin origin that is very favorable to supporting the leftist and socialist Democrat political agenda, thus becoming reliable leftist and socialist Democrat voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead keeping the leftist and socialist Democrats in permanent political control of the USA, the Congress, and the White House thus sending the wimpy Republicans into political oblivion.

No changes to immigration laws, we have them already and Amnesty just attracts more illegal Aliens that take jobs from our underclass. The bill is written just to send 64 Billions to the Ukraine money laundering machine. Just vote no or hell no. It is not a game for Ukraine will get US into WW3.

Thank you Mike Lee, for saying out loud what we all knew but it needed to be said and Schumer and the ever Dem appeasing coward Mitch McConnell called out! Dems will never get rid of Schumer but Republicans would serve themselves and our country to get rid of turncoat McConnell. Start with McConnell and get rid of every rhino in the party. More Republicans need to grow a pair like Mike Lee and stand up for the American people. I won't hold my breath waiting though! DITCH MITCH, MAGA!

I'm hopeful that this terrible bill will be dead in the house.

This is no different than what this traitor McConnell has been doing all along. Yet, I do believe that Lee was one of the many Senators that reelected McConnell as their leader repeatedly. So while it is good Lee is saying this, he and all the rest of the spineless Republican Senators are a big part of the problem.

The only proper place for this bill to go is in the paper shredder and the big circular file!!
