The southern border is an absolute mess, and let's not forget that President Joe Biden made it that way. He keeps complaining that Congress needs to send him a bill for him to secure the border, but as Katie has highlighted at length, that's a lie. Biden even signed an executive action immediately upon taking office that dismissed the emergency. He's not the only Democrat, though, not helping the issue.
When it comes to the border bill, let's not forget that what it really is, as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reminded in a conversation with Townhall, is a "border surrender bill." That hasn't stopped Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media from claiming that Republicans don't actually want to fix the issue, especially since it could help Donald Trump.
In one post from last week, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) highlighted a win-win kind of situation for the president as he shared coverage from POLITICO, "White House stays the course on border talks — despite Trump’s interference."
POLITICO has indeed been covering the border quite a bit, especially with its recent editions of Playbook. "Can Dems flip the border script?," asked the AM edition for Tuesday, while that afternoon's edition highlighted how "GOP conference rages against border deal." Opposition to the plan from House Republicans and Trump was indeed mentioned.
Biden people admit they don’t want to secure the border

What they want is bipartisan support for a Senate bill they know is dead in House & that he will never enforce anyways
Then he can both keep the border open AND blame House GOP for it https://t.co/ziXU27lpeY
