The Sick F Now Proposes Doing for Border Same Thing the Bipartisan Bill He OBSTRUCTED Would've Done

What a bastard, eh?

Trump proposes adding 10,000 Border Patrol agents after derailing a bipartisan border bill - PBS

Donald Trump on Sunday proposed hiring 10,000 additional Border Patrol agents and giving them a $10,000 retention and signing bonus, after he derailed a bipartisan bill earlier this year that included funding for more border personnel.

He defied the union [that endorsed him] earlier this year when he convinced Republicans to kill a bipartisan immigration bill that contained additional border resources. According to the White House, the bill would have funded 1,500 personnel at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol.

Trump and his allies routinely call Harris the “border czar,” even though she’s never had that title.

Wasn’t that long ago if I said that I’d probably get in trouble or be screamed at.

I and a few others did say that eight years ago and seven years ago and six years ago.

I have to disengage, not good for my health, I know it’s coming I know Republicans are gonna refuse to certify and the Supreme Court is going to uphold it and I know that’s coming. I know people don’t wanna hear it, I don’t wanna hear it. So I think I have to be gone.
