Biden blames Trump for possible failure of bipartisan immigration bill

The president of U.S, Joe Bidenblamed this Tuesday donald trump of the possible failure of a bill migration negotiated by Democratic and Republican senators, arguing that the former president would rather take political advantage than help the country.

“Everything indicates that the project will not even advance in the Senate. Why? For one simple reason: Donald Trump. Why donald trump He believes it is harmful to him politically, therefore, he does not support it, even if it benefits the country. I’d rather use this problem as a weapon instead of solving it“Biden said in a speech at the The White House.

Biden’s statements are among the harshest he has made against Trump, especially from the White House. When he criticizes Trump in this way, he usually does so at election rallies and in reference to the presidential elections in November, where the two could face each other again.

Biden criticized Trump for calling on members of Congress from his Republican party to “intimidate them”And get them to vote against the project.

“They seem to be giving in“recognized Biden, who then urged members of the Republican opposition to attend”value” It is “determination” voting for what they believe is right, rather than succumbing to pressure from Trump, who has great influence over the party’s base.

In this regard, Biden urged Republicans to leave behind “this toxic policy“And stop”play political games” to respond to the American people’s calls for a solution to the immigration system, which has not changed significantly for decades.

“Republicans must make it clear who they serve. For Donald Trump or for the American people? People want us to solve problems, not turn them into political problems. Who do they serve? I know my answer,” Biden stated.

A group of Democratic and Republican senators released on Sunday the text of a bill valued at US$118 billion that links aid to Israel It is Ukraine with the approval of immigration restrictions, something that Republicans had been defending for months.

The Democratic-dominated Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote on Wednesday.

If the project passes this stage and is approved by the plenary of the High camerawill go to the House of Representativeswhere it has little chance of prospering because the Republicans have a majority and have already expressed their rejection of this initiative.

O migration has become one of Biden’s biggest vulnerabilities, with images of chaos at the border affecting his approval ratings, currently at 39%.

In turn, Trump, who came to The White House in 2016 with the promise to build a wall on the border with Mexicois focusing most of his rallies on migration and has made it clear that he plans to use that issue against Biden.
