Top White House adviser Stephen Miller lobbied Senate Republicans Thursday to support approving an influx of cash for immigration enforcement in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” seeking to rally the conference amid some internal divisions about the level of funding for border security.

Sens. Lindsey Graham, chair of the Senate Budget Committee, and Rand Paul, who leads the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs panel, are expected to release competing proposals for how much money to spend on border security activities and infrastructure. Paul, whose committee has official jurisdiction over this portion of the GOP tax and spending package, has suggested he supports paring back the tens of billions of dollars that would be made available through the House-passed version of the megabill.

Sen. Ron Johnson, a key holdout on the larger legislation, said there was previously “frustration” among some members about the lack of clarity around the administration’s justification for requesting a certain dollar amount be met for border security efforts, adding that senators were looking for “some basic numbers because they weren’t quite adding up.”

Senate Homeland was instructed in the budget resolution paving the way for the megabill to spend as much as $175 billion, the vast majority of which would be for border security.

After Miller’s presentation, Johnson said he believed the administration’s border security funding pitch was sound, even if it was hard to predict what it would ultimately cost: “I don’t think we’re gonna move the number up, but we’re not going to shortchange it ... This is a mess we have to clean up.”

Miller, an architect of Trump’s immigration platform, previously said on X that Paul’s ideas would “eviscerate the border and deportation provisions,” and his moves to spend less money on these policies represented a “betrayal of the Americans who elected President Trump.”

Paul, a fiscal hawk who voted against the budget framework earlier this year, said he did not attend the meeting Miller convened to discuss his committee’s product.

“I am trying very hard to not have any conversations with him,” Paul told reporters of Miller, adding that the senior aide’s openness to suspending habeas corpus — which allows people to challenge their detention in court — “should preclude [him] from holding high office or being an adviser to anyone in high office.”

If the Senate largely maintains levels of spending in the House-passed bill, it would represent an unprecedented surge of money for the Trump administration to conduct its aggressive immigration and deportation agenda. Trump’s border czar Tom Homan also lobbied Senate Republicans for additional resources Wednesday.

I don't think Jesus set fire to structures, looted 30 businesses, or assaulted roman officers

Weird, local shills have been lying and claiming that Trump has the border completely under control, which is why he can't deport any immigrants despite there being 150 million illegals invading the country.
But we still need more money for the border for some reason that definitely isn't a scam

>>1412612
neither did the protesters. oh wait, I forgot protesters = rioters for you.

>>1412618
At least some of that money is for more ICE detention facilities, which of course will be run by the private prison industry.

>>1412619
>As soon as the protestors start rioting let's just retcon them into some other totally unrelated group that just happens to be the same people at the same place but are not protestors
You are kinda right tho. Once the protestors start rioting, they cease being protestors and are now criminals.

>>1412625
>(leaves pile of bricks in your path)

>>1412619
>oh wait, I forgot protesters = rioters for you.
I mean, yeah. If everyone at Jan 6th was an insurrectionist - including the 75 year old boomer grandma taking pictures in the lobby - then every retard in Los Angeles blocking roads and defending criminals is a rioter.

>>1412631
insurrectionists are not rioters just like protesters are not rioters

>>1412633
Cute dodge attempt. Was everyone at Jan 6th an insurrectionist? Yes or no.

>>1412633
They actually tried to use that as their defense of January 6 early on.
"Okay yes it was bad, but it wasn't an insurrection, it was just a riot! There was no planning, it just got out of hand and violent!"
Of course we later found out there was very deliberate and meticulous planning that went into it from as far up as actual Trump staffers, but that's beside the point.
But after four years of right wing brain washing, they won't even say that anymore. Now it was a completely peaceful protest where everyone stayed in areas they were supposed to and Ashli Babbit was leading a tour group of nuns to the rest room before the crazed thug cop jumped out from around a corner and shot her for being white and Christian.

>>1412631
>including the 75 year old boomer grandma taking pictures in the lobby -
I must have missed the part where she got charged for insurrection
No wait, I didn't because there was a reasonable response to that and just the rioters were caught and charged.
Republicunts love trying their false equivalencies though

>>1412635
do you know how to not shit on the floor? that's a rhetorical question btw

>>1412643
The Jan 6 insurrectionists didn't

>>1412641
At least they finally stopped trying to pretend there were no weapons involved, but it took a few years.

>>1412625
It's classic lefty logic regarding any kind of 'mostly peaceful' uprisings
>yes we fly hamas flags
>and we chant hamas chants
>and we support the hamas government
>and we dig up the pipes to make hamas rockets
>and we collect donations that go to hamas
>and we literally hide hamas in crowds
>but we're not hamas!

They shit in a toilet, it just happened to be one that conducts government proceedeings. I don't see the issue.

yeah, but what about the LA rioters dragging cops into the crowd and beating them unconscious with a fire extinguisher?
Don't you agree that kind of subhuman behavior should be punished?

Mitch McConnell is a leftist now?

>>1412643
Do you know how to answer yes or no questions? Or is it too difficult to be honest for once in your life? Tell you what, you get one more chance and then I'll answer for you.

>>1412648
defending right wingers and their toilet training amnesia is a hilarious new low for you, shill.

>>1412650
Mitch McConnell is a neocon, and neocons are trotskyists, so yeah absolutely.

>>1412650
the shill is a babbling retard and his floor is probably shit on

>>1412651
>impotent rage at being called out as a floor shitter
don't bother posting your lie as a response though

>>1412653
>neocons are commies
I can't even imagine what kinds of indoctrination it takes to arrive at that conclusion.

>>1412650
>>1412653
Lol I didn't even have a chance to type "The schizo is going to say yes, Mitch McConnell is a leftist" before he did
You can't try to argue logically with people who don't live in reality, anon

>>1412655
It's okay anon. I'll just put down a "yes" for you, because one of us here has to be honest.

And since you answered yes to that question, you can go fuck yourself. Everyone in the streets of Los Angeles right now is a rioter. Easy peasy.

>>1412659
clean the shit off your floor before you make another terrible post, ok shill anon

>>1412662
Sorry, can't hear you over all the rioters burning shit in Los Angeles.

There you go, fags. Your retarded right-wing opposition to Donald Trump are actually Trotskyists trying to gatekeep a real right-wing movement from appearing in American politics.

>>1412658
Remember, if a guy calls himself a Republican, has been a member of the Republican Party all his life, and runs several organizations with the names 'Republicans for XXXX', they're actually a leftist.
Donate $5 to Actblue once? Also a leftist
Criticize Trump on social media? Also a leftist, unless you immediately delete them when called out, then you're just a leftist after Trump fires you.
But support Democrats for decades, hang out with the Clintons all the time, and get yelled at by the entire Republican establishment for being a moron? Then you're the cornerstone of the Republican party.

This is what retards actually believe.

>openly tries to sabotage the republican party leader
>b-but he calls himself a republican!
Yeah faggot and you call yourself a woman, look how well that plays with reality

>Nancy Pelosi is a Republican
This makes sense to the local shill retard

>>openly tries to sabotage the republican party leader
>>b-but he calls himself a republican!
Do all the politicians in your third-world country blindly follow the leader instead of having their own opinions?
In a democracy everyone gets a vote, sorry if this is confusing to a non-American.

Who did that?
Mitch McConnell, the man who went out of his way to ram through Trump's SCOTUS pick while votes were being cast in the 2020 election, after saying February of an election year was too close to the election to even consider SCOTUS picks in 2016?
