When Kamala makes a campaign promise, is it a vision for the future, or an apology for not doing it the past 4 years?

What does it mean when Trump tells his party not to pass a bipartisan Secure the Border bill?

here are ten reasons why Trump opposed the legislation:

1. Insufficient Border Security Measures
  • Reason: Trump believed that the bill did not provide adequate funding or provisions for enhancing border security. He has often advocated for robust measures, such as additional border wall construction and increased border patrol resources.
2. Policy Compromises
  • Reason: The bipartisan nature of the bill  involved compromises that Trump views as too lenient or insufficiently stringent on immigration enforcement. He opposes aspects of the bill that he believes weaken overall border security.
3. Political Strategy
  • Reason: By opposing the bill, Trump aims to position himself as a strong advocate for stricter immigration policies, distinguishing himself from Kamala and appealing to his base while also preventing his opposition from taking a victory lap.
4. Concerns About Amnesty
  • Reason: Trump was concerned that the bill included provisions that could be perceived as granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants, which he had consistently opposed.
5. Previous Commitments
  • Reason: He was adhering to previous commitments made during his presidency, which focused on a specific approach to border security, such as the construction of a border wall, and views the bill as diverging from these commitments.
6. Displeasure with Bipartisan Negotiations
  • Reason: Trump had issues with the way bipartisan negotiations were conducted, feeling that compromises made with Democrats did not adequately represent Republican interests or priorities.
7. Distrust of Government Agencies
  • Reason: Trump distrusted the effectiveness of federal agencies involved in implementing the bill, believing that they might not use the resources efficiently or as intended.
8. Influence of Hardline Advisers
  • Reason: Trump’s opposition was influenced by advisers or allies who advocate for more extreme immigration policies and who view the bill as insufficiently stringent.
9. Impact on 2024 Election
  • Reason: Trump saw opposing the bill as a way to energize his political base in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, using immigration as a key campaign issue.
10. Previous Failures or Experiences
  • Reason: Trump had negative experiences with similar bipartisan legislation in the past, leading him to believe that such bills fail to deliver meaningful change or improvements in border security. More of the same bait and switch so common in modern legislation.
