The U.S. Congress faces a bipartisan challenge in addressing border security, with Democrats and Republicans clashing over legislation to secure the border and fix the broken immigration system. Republicans are accused of walking away from bipartisan bills for political reasons, while Democrats push for cooperation to address national security concerns and the flow of deadly drugs like fentanyl.
The Biden Border Crisis has turned every community into a border community. Fentanyl is killing thousands. Thank you, @TulsaPolice for seizing 100,000 lethal doses in midtown Tulsa! https://t.co/f2AcRW1TIp
Our law enforcement partners at the border need more resources to cut the flow of dangerous drugs like fentanyl. It's time to take action. I'm urging my Senate colleagues to come together and deliver critical support to crack down on drug traffickers. https://t.co/UeI11qYn4T
. @SenSchumer continues to surprise with this demonstrably false claim. His amnesty bill was anything but “comprehensive” or a “border security bill”. You’ve had H.R.2 Secure The Border bill on your desk for over a year. Biden could use unilateral EO under 212(f) to secure… https://t.co/e7i5gIce9c
It’s been 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ days since Congressional Republicans blocked bipartisan legislation that would restore order at the border and help fix our broken immigration system. Actions speak louder than words. https://t.co/LF66vir5pi

100 days ago, the Senate voted on a bipartisan bill to secure our border, stop the flow of fentanyl, & address our broken asylum system. But Washington politics as usual got in the way & the bill stalled. It’s time to put partisan politics aside & fix this crisis at our border.
If my Republican colleagues were serious about securing the border, they would abandon their empty rhetoric & join me in supporting the strongest bipartisan border security bill in decades. It’s been 100 days since they refused to secure our border & it’s time we pass this bill.
Senator Schumer is pushing for the Senate "border security" bill again. The bill codifies harmful immigration policy and allows the border crisis to continue. If Schumer wants border security, he needs to help pass H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, now. https://t.co/u3OdmVeYRi
Time after time, Republicans claim they want to strengthen our border security. They're the ones who killed the most significant border security bill in a generation because Trump told them to. Make it make sense.
Republicans had the chance to strengthen our national security, improve our immigration system, and stop fentanyl at the border. Trump told them to kill the bill, so they did. Republicans say they care about solving the challenges at the border. Their actions say otherwise. https://t.co/9tBH9QE7pj
100 days ago @SenateDems were ready to pass the strictest bipartisan border security bill we’ve ever seen to shore up protections and stem the flow of deadly drugs. After months of tough negotiations to get to a deal, Republicans walked away—purely for political reasons.
One hundred days ago, extreme D.C. Republicans decided they’d rather have a political issue than a bipartisan success story. @NewDemCoalition is ready to work together to secure our border, stem the flow of fentanyl through our ports of entry, and reform our immigration system. https://t.co/RjIvbo3Cj9
Next week we have the chance to take action on the bipartisan Border Act. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/SvwmhyJfh8
It’s been 100 days since Republican Leadership killed a tough, fair, and bipartisan deal to fix our broken immigration system. Americans are sick and tired of the political games. @SpeakerJohnson, do your job and let us vote. https://t.co/HZ8FuCTyDz
One hundred days - that’s how long it’s been since Republicans walked away from a bipartisan border security bill. Democrats are giving them another chance. It’s long past time we pass this bill that would fix our broken asylum system, stop the flow of deadly fentanyl, & more. https://t.co/4SjQDNsKQM
Our bipartisan border bill would’ve helped secure our border & stop fentanyl from coming into the country. This compromise would have taken meaningful steps to fix our broken immigration system but politics as usual got in the way. It’s wrong & we need to come back to the table.
Every day Washington politicians play politics instead of addressing the border crisis, they are failing the American people. It doesn’t matter if it’s proposed by Republicans or Democrats. It’s the right thing to do. I would gladly join with Senate Democrats to get this done.
While Senator Schumer was busy making excuses for President Biden’s open border policies, the House took action and passed the Secure the Border Act on May 11, 2023. REAL border security has been sitting on Senator Schumer’s desk for 373 days. https://t.co/Z7xum1cnse
I’m glad to see the other side of the aisle take the border crisis seriously that’s hurting #CA40 communities & all Americans. I'm fighting to get my bipartisan Comprehensive Southern Border Strategy Act across the finish line & am committed to solutions. https://t.co/ruSU4SHHXK
Schumer will give the White House cover to use stricter immigration executive actionsby resurrecting a bipartisan border bill for a vote likely next week The latest from @stephen_neukam + me https://t.co/JgjpIpN6iJ
Rep. Nadler: House Republicans walked away from the bipartisan border security bill because Donald Trump said he wanted an issue for the election. To fix the border, you have to do the hard work of legislating. That appears to be beyond the capacity of this Republican majority https://t.co/JGetBkTBTu
It’s been over a year since @HouseGOP passed HR 2. Sadly, some Washington Democrats are more loyal to progressive activists than they are to keeping Americans safe. They would rather leave the border wide-open than consider our legislation. In the meantime, America suffers. https://t.co/87zkaC5RpI
Congress can’t address the challenges at the border on a partisan basis. We need bipartisan, pragmatic solutions. It’s a matter of national security and we must come together to address it. https://t.co/PCzFUqJgp2
