Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Senate’s Republican Minority Leader, recommended late Monday that his colleagues vote against a tepid border bill co-signed by Democrats, throwing negotiations over domestic security and funding for Ukraine and Israel into disarray.
Veteran Capitol Hill reporter Jake Sherman reported that the Kentucky Republican encouraged his colleagues in a closed-door GOP meeting to vote against a deal that has drawn sharp criticism in conservative circles for allowing up to 5,000 illegal migrant crossings per day, approximately half the amount of crossing that currently occur along the nation’s southern border. McConnell’s reservations are all but sure to tank efforts between Democrats and Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) to negotiate a crackdown on migrants in exchange for tens of billions of dollars for overseas wars sought by President Joe Biden. Conservative House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) previously indicated any such bill would be “dead on arrival” in his chamber and added late Monday that the new laws proposed for the border would “do more harm than good.”
