Popular broadcaster Daryl Cooper, known as “Martyr Made,” posted his thoughts on the Senate's $118 billion immigration bill, suggesting that border security negotiations between Republicans and Democrats are all for show because both parties have the same goals.
The bipartisan bill provides a huge amount of money to foreign countries – more than $78 billion – instead of the US border's $20 billion.
Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, called the bill an “abomination” that “legitimizes the invasion of two million illegal people every year, pays for their lawyers, and gives Ukraine another $60 billion.”
“Your government hates you and wants to replace you, but until that happens, it will steal from you every dime it can,” Davis added.
Notice that Davis didn't say “Democrats hate you.”

Are negotiations on border security a farce?
Cooper walked back Davis' comments to say the quiet part out loud.
“there He is There is no disagreement between Democrats and Republicans over border security or unlimited aid to Ukraine [and] Israel,” he wrote.
“It's a shell game, the negotiations are fake, they're all on the same side,” X's post read. “The game is to pretend they are compromising so that the parts of each side's voters that are unpopular can be blamed on the other side.”
actually. How many times have we heard Republicans in the Senate or House say the time for blank checks on foreign wars is over only to see them negotiate a “bipartisan” bill with Democrats and hand President Biden a victory on a talking point?
Ukraine and Israel are repeatedly rewarded handsomely, while border funding is like tooth extraction and represents only a small fraction of what these other countries receive. By the way, those foreign countries are invaded much less often than ours. America is at war, and both Democrats and Republicans are funding countries that do nothing for the people of their constituents.

The popularity of letters on border security negotiations seems to indicate a level of agreement among readers.
“The immigration reform bill is a misnomer. “It's actually a proxy war funding bill with afterthoughts about immigration,” one user responded.
“The lion's share of funding goes to other countries. Don't fall for it.”
Donald Trump Jr. recently criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his failed leadership on the issue of border security. He burned Republicans who agreed with this nonsense.
“Don't fall for the latest border bait and switch quagmire,” he said. “This so-called ‘border security’ bill is just another step toward amnesty and the distribution of more endless dollars to Ukraine.”
Trump later added: “Why do Senate Republicans continue to allow themselves to be led by a mentally ill pro-amnesty turtle?”
Because, as Sean Davis and “Martyr Made” mentioned above, they're all part of one big unified party. They're not trying to hide it anymore.
