Trump Just Stopped Border Protection

Jacob Francy, '26


Earlier in February, President Biden negotiated a new deal with House Republicans which would give billions of dollars to help secure the border while also sending another package to support Ukraine in the Ukraine-Russo War. Everything was set, everyone was satisfied, and the bill was about to be passed through the House of Representatives when Donald Trump called Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s office…

Donald Trump, the front-runner in the 2024 Republican Primary Election, is running on only a handful of real policies, and the most notable platform is his extreme immigration policy, which could be described as a “lockout.” Trump still wants to continue to run on immigration, but when Biden tried to get a deal done to help secure the border, Trump told Republicans to shut it down. This is a super common, yet extreme, example of how politics has ruined our way of helping our own citizens. We literally negotiated the biggest bi-partisan bill of the year, which would help both our immigration crisis and our standing against Russia, and one man managed to shoot it down.

This truly shows how Trump rules every Republican in Congress, and if elected, there’s no telling how far they’ll follow him down the rabbit hole.
