Sen. Murphy Accuses GOP of Blocking Immigration Bill to Fuel Border Crisis

The bipartisan bill, intended to control undocumented crossings, was thwarted by Republicans, aiding Trump's political campaign, says Murphy.

Sen. Chris Murphy criticized Republicans for intentionally blocking a bipartisan immigration bill, claiming it aids Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
The blocked bill, supported by U.S. Border Patrol, aimed to reduce undocumented migrant asylum claims and included billions in aid for Israel and Ukraine.
Murphy urges Democrats to 'go on the offense' on immigration, highlighting the bill's potential to grant Biden new powers to control the border.
The senator points out that border control was far from achieved under Trump, with undocumented crossings reaching a 10-year high in 2019.
Only Democrats support pathways to citizenship, legal immigration expansion, and tough border laws, according to Murphy.
