Border Coalition Letter to Congress: if enacted, Senate Bill ‘would codify border crisis’

Published

on

On Tuesday, a coalition of organizations sent a letter to Congressional leaders with one message: the legislative text of the Senate’s long-anticipated immigration bill “confirms our worst suspicions: if enacted, the bill would codify the border crisis and severely limit any future enforcement-minded administration from securing the border.”

Among the signatories is the Border911.com team, a 501c3 with which Sara Carter belongs to. The Heritage Foundation, America First Policy Institute, Immigration Accountability Project and the Federation for American Immigration Reform are just a few of the dozens of groups that signed on to the letter.

“We now know why this text was released on a Sunday evening and is being rushed to the floor: the bill wouldn’t solve the crisis and has been falsely portrayed” the letter states. The bill “would not end ‘catch and release.’ Instead, it would replace current statutory mandatory detention with a mass release program of weaker discretionary ‘monitoring,’ intentionally undermining the capacity for removal, per DHS’s own enforcement report.”

“The Biden Administration inherited the most secure border in our lifetimes” the letter laments. “Many of us were involved in the direct operations to achieve that outcome. Through scores of executive actions and policy decisions, the Biden Administration has systematically opened the border and recruited, sustained, and exacerbated the crisis at every step.”

“If the Biden Administration were interested in anything but political messaging, they would immediately take steps to undo their own actions” the letter continues. “Our national security and sovereignty should be above politics. This legislative package turns a crisis of epic magnitude into a political talking point….This legislative package does not secure the border and it will severely curtail the ability of future administrations to do so” the letter concludes.

Democrats Worry Continued Fundraising by Kamala Harris is Hurting Them With Voters

Published

on

The 2024 election has been over for weeks now, but Kamala Harris is still fundraising.

Despite raising and spending more than a billion dollars in this election cycle, Harris ended her campaign with more than $20 million dollars in debt. Even more shocking, the DNC laid off a massive number of staffers and didn’t pay senior campaign workers at the end.

Now Harris is still fundraising in a desperate attempt to retire her campaign debt and other members of the party believe this is very damaging.

Politico reported:

Dems fear Harris’ continued fundraising ‘erodes trust’

The emails themselves don’t mention debt, instead citing the organization’s support for recount efforts in close races and legal challenges. And the Harris campaign denies that the campaign or affiliated joint fundraising committees had outstanding debts on Election Day, and says they won’t report debts owed in future Federal Election Commission reports due in December.

But the fundraising appeals have still continued, and some Democrats fear she may be compounding the party’s problems with the tone of some of her appeals — damaging relationships with online donors who have long powered the party. In just a few months, the vice president built up a record-breaking fundraising operation. She raked in funds from millions of online donors within the first week of her candidacy, and continued to hold fundraising events well into the fall. Now those same donors who helped her raise more than $1.4 billion are among the people being asked to give more. The emails still come two or three times a day.

This is going to be a serious issue for Democrats going forward. Their own donors don’t trust them anymore and who can blame them?
