What we SAW, as documented, was GOP obstruction of immigration reforms supported by both parties; the last such ordered by Trump because it would take away an election issue. THAT f'cking happened you reality denying nitwit.
Did Trump kill an immigration reform bill because it would hurt his election chances in'24?
Yes, Donald Trump played a direct role in killing a bipartisan immigration reform and border security bill because he believed passing it would hurt his chances in the 2024 election. Multiple sources confirm that Trump actively lobbied Republican lawmakers to reject the bill, preferring to keep immigration as a campaign issue rather than help solve it.
Trump himself acknowledged his involvement, telling supporters at a rally, "A lot of the senators are trying to say, respectfully, they're blaming it on me. I say, that's okay. Please blame it on me." He also posted on social media that passing the bill would be "a great gift to the Democrats, and a Death Wish for The Republican Party," making clear he saw political advantage in blocking it. The bill, which had bipartisan support and was endorsed by groups like the Border Patrol Union, ultimately failed after Trump urged Republicans to oppose it.
Fact-checkers and news outlets have verified that Trump’s intervention was decisive and motivated by his desire to campaign on the issue of immigration, rather than see it resolved before the election.
