In response to <\/em>new<\/em><\/a> <\/em>polling<\/em><\/a> showing two-thirds of Americans support the bipartisan border security deal that Donald Trump blew up, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe bipartisan border security bill has widespread support across party lines \u2013 but Donald Trump directed MAGA Republicans to kill the toughest, fairest border deal in decades because he doesn\u2019t care about securing the border, he only cares about himself. Trump is putting politics ahead of the American people by blocking this bipartisan deal that would make our country safer, make the border more secure, and treat people fairly and humanely. While Trump continues to urge his MAGA minions to play political games, President Biden and Democrats are working across the aisle to provide real solutions that will improve border security and fix our immigration system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW: DNC ads are running on the <\/strong>Eagle Pass News Leader<\/strong><\/a> website today as Donald Trump heads to Texas to remind the American people about his disastrous immigration record and his efforts to block bipartisan legislation to secure the border. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New polling shows that two-thirds of Americans support the bipartisan border security deal that Trump directed MAGA Republicans to reject.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cTwo in Three Americans Support the Bipartisan Immigration Deal\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo in three Americans supported the bipartisan immigration deal reached in the Senate, but that will not be taken up for a vote in the House. \u2026 On the Republican approach to the recent immigration package, Americans\u2019 greatest concerns are that they are focused on the wrong issues and playing politics.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe immigration deal earns support across party lines, including among three in four Republicans (net +58; 74 percent support \u201316 percent oppose), two in three independents (net +48; 64 percent support \u2013 16 percent oppose), and three in five Democrats (net +32; 59 percent support \u2013 27 percent oppose).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Way<\/a>: \u201cVoters like the deal, both as a whole and individual components. \u2026 <\/strong>Across the board, both swing and base voters are remarkably aligned in favor of the big security components of the deal. It\u2019s not just the tough on the border policies that voters like\u2014they also understand that a major piece of restoring order must be providing orderly pathways for people to come to this country in other ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has urged MAGA Republicans to do nothing to improve border security \u2013 and his MAGA minions have fallen in line.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cPlease blame it on me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI think [Republicans] are making a terrible mistake if they vote for the bill.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cThe border compromise would represent a dramatic change of immigration law on lines many Republicans have long supported. \u2026 The Mayorkas impeachment effort\u2026 will have zero practical impact on the crisis at the southern border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cTrump, who is hoping to make immigration a key plank of his presidential campaign, has suggested on Truth Social that approving additional resources for the border would make Republicans \u2018look bad.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vox<\/a>: \u201cTrump made this clear when he reportedly urged Republicans in Congress to turn against the bipartisan Senate border security bill scheduled for a vote Wednesday so that he could keep the issue alive through the presidential election.<\/strong> His supporters have largely fallen in line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cHouse GOP Impeaches DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas \u2014 Just To Help Trump\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cAs Republicans accuse Mayorkas of grossly mishandling the border, Johnson is actively refusing to consider the Senate\u2019s bipartisan deal to ramp up border security.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson has repeatedly called for action to secure the border and said it \u201cis a job for Congress.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cOur immigration system is broken. Reforming that system is a job for Congress.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cThe crisis at our southern border has deteriorated to such an extent that significant action can wait no longer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cWe must insist \u2014 must insist \u2014 that the border be the top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cI do think it\u2019s past time to secure the border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cI have said that very clearly from day one, we have to solve the [border] problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple House Republicans have warned their own colleagues against politicizing border security and delaying taking action.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Emmer<\/a>: \u201cWhy does it have to be a political issue when it’s the right thing to do to seal our own border and make sure that good people that want to come here for the right reasons are able to come here?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chip Roy<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s time to act with urgency. Urgency means not waiting for the next election.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael McCaul<\/a>: \u201cI think [the border] is a very urgent problem. We can\u2019t wait a year.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryan Steil<\/a>: \u201c<\/strong>I\u2019m less concerned about who gets the win other than making sure the American people win, and the American people win if we truly secure the US-Mexico border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick McHenry<\/a>: \u201cWe have bipartisan support. \u2026 Take the moment, man.<\/strong> Take the policy win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Crenshaw<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m extremely disappointed in the strange maneuvering by many on the right to torpedo a potential border reform bill. \u2026 It would be an unacceptable dereliction of [their] duty.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both parties talked about border security in the NY-03 special election, but Democrat Tom Suozzi won because Democrats have a plan while Republicans are all talk and no action when it comes to securing the border.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cA decisive victory Tuesday for Tom Suozzi flipped a bellwether New York House district into the Democratic column, thinning an already small House GOP majority and potentially offering a preview of the campaign tactics in 2024 battleground races nationally. \u2026 Republicans went all-in on the issue of immigration as their ticket to victory \u2014 and fell short.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cSuozzi affirmed his commitment to border security in two TV ads, and in the final days of the campaign, slammed Pilip for opposing a bipartisan Senate deal to shore up the border after Trump warned that it would benefit Biden. <\/strong>What\u2019s more, Suozzi and his allies were apparently able to get the latter point across without the benefit of advertising and direct mail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cWhen Ms. Pilip rejected a bipartisan Senate deal to boost deportations and fortify the border, Mr. Suozzi turned the tables, arguing that she was putting base politics above national security.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cMany voters in the swing district pointed to immigration as a top issue, <\/strong>something that could also be true for voters across the country during this year\u2019s general election. \u2026 Suozzi argued that he was the only person offering solutions in the race and criticized some Republicans in Congress for killing a bipartisan deal on the border.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall Street Journal<\/a>: \u201cDemocrat Tom Suozzi won a special election Tuesday on Long Island, flipping a seat in Congress from the GOP and sending a signal that his party can withstand Republican attacks on immigration in swing districts far from the border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPR<\/a>: \u201cThis race was dominated by GOP attacks on immigration.<\/strong> Republicans spent more than $8 million on campaign ads in this race, a huge number for a special congressional election. They hammered Democrat Tom Suozzi on immigration on the airwaves. Republican Mazi Pilip even held rallies near a makeshift tent city in Queens that houses migrants. \u2026 Democrats showed they can defend themselves on this issue.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cThe victory also validated Suozzi\u2019s decision to invest heavily in countering the GOP on immigration<\/strong>, suggesting that Democrats in tight races can benefit from talking tougher on the border and highlighting Republicans\u2019 abrupt abandonment of a bipartisan deal on the matter negotiated in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
