Senators Mike Lee, along with other critics, have expressed strong opposition to a $106 billion border bill proposed by Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell. The bill, which aims to make significant changes to immigration law, is being pushed to pass without giving senators an opportunity to read its contents. Concerns have been raised about the bill's potential to encourage an increase in illegal immigration, with claims that it could allow nearly 1.8 million people per year to cross the borders. Additionally, there are objections regarding the bill's linkage to a Ukraine foreign aid package and it being referred to as the Schumer-Lankford amnesty bill. The text of the bill has not been released, raising questions about its contents and the urgency with which it is being handled, with a push to pass it as early as next week.
If the Senate border bill text, once released, reflects the framework that has been published that permits nearly 1.8M a year across our borders and linking Ukraine foreign aid package, I will NOT be supporting the Schumer-Lankford amnesty bill. How can any member of Congress… https://t.co/VJyC4jYSss
Briefings indicate that the Senate border bill only encourages more illegal aliens to surge the border. The Senate won't release the text of the bill to us. If it's such a strong bill then why can't we read it? https://t.co/UCQeagAw7q
NO: Schumer And McConnell Want Senators To Pass Their $106B Border Bill Without Reading It? Hell No. Under no circumstances should this bill — which would make massive, permanent changes to immigration law — be passed next week. https://t.co/5Gw2zmZx7b
