MODERATORS
 

Former President Donald Trump said Sunday that if elected he would ask Congress to pass legislation boosting the number of border patrol agents — several months after he thwarted a bipartisan measure that included staffing increases.

Trump this year opposed a bipartisan measure that was the most aggressive border security bill in decades, one that would have imposed measures aimed at cutting the number of border crossings and tightening asylum rules. The legislation, which followed months of negotiations between Senate Democrats and Republicans and the Biden administration, also would have funded the hiring of 1,500 additional Customs and Border Protection agents and an additional 1,600 asylum officers.

Senate Republicans ultimately voted to block the bill after Trump pressured congressional Republicans to block any measure that was not “perfect.” That also allowed him to continue making the border and immigration the foundation of his bid to return to the White House.

He means Nazis that will be dressed as ~~gestapo~~ border guards which he will let loose on “blue” cities.

Totally different than the bipartisan border deal

That happened while he was technically just another citizen of the US, blame should also go to the Republicans that keep listening to him

Lay everyone off and hire half as many and he can say he increased the number of agents… from zero.
