'God help us': Fox News host Laura Ingraham sparks debate by labeling Senate's bipartisan bill 'Travesty'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Laura Ingraham, the host of Fox News' ‘The Ingraham Angle,’ provides a detailed analysis of critical components within the Senate's bipartisan border bill.

This came following the long-awaited Senate bipartisan bill of $118 billion for border security and foreign aid package. The deal allocates $20 billion for border security to expel migrants on the southern border.

Following this news, Ingraham took to X, formerly known as Twitter to share her monologue about the bill as many people on the internet expressed their frustration.

Laura Ingraham calls the bipartisan bill a ‘travesty’

Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham took to X and wrote, “Laura: The entire border bill is a travesty.”

In her monologue, Ingraham began, “No. No. Hell, no. That's the focus of tonight's 'Angle.' We knew that it was finally released after being kept hidden from the public for months, that the Schumer-McConnell border insecurity bill would be bad. But even we didn't realize how bad.”

“Now, just last week, he was assuring critics, including the 'Angle' that what was leaked out about the bill were just internet rumors, including that the bill would permit up to 5,000 migrants per day into the country.”

She continued, “Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I thought that the 5,000 migrants could come in. Welcome. That trigger was just an internet rumor. I mean, how long ago did we do that on the 'Angle?' Two weeks ago? Three weeks ago?”

“Well, in the first place, given the damage and strain Biden has already inflicted on all of you in America, with the millions of migrants that have been allowed in, we shouldn't be allowing even one migrant into the country, let alone 5,000 encounters a day. It's a joke.”

Ingraham further said, “Second, just so everyone understands this, under the supposedly tough-as-nails legislation, the border is never closed. Even if you do think Mayorkas could ever be trusted to oversee things and track the numbers.”

The Fox News host said, “Now, you don't need to take my word for it, because that's exactly what one of the architects of the bill, Senator Chris Murphy, said. The president and the Border Patrol still retain broad discretionary powers to weigh people in, including thousands at a time.”

“And unaccompanied minors don't even count toward that 5,000 threshold number. So the entire bill is a travesty.”

She expressed, “And if Lankford hadn't just been re-elected in 2022, he never would be championing it, I promise you that. Here are some of the key reasons to hate the bill. From Red State and lawyers at America First Legal. First, all migrant families must be released from custody.”

“Second, only single individuals can be deported. Third, emergency powers don't affect ports of entry that still, get this, must allow a minimum, a minimum, of 1400 migrants a day.”

Ingraham said, “Now there are 30 ports of entry in the United States which equals 42,000 migrants a month. Or wait for it, 504,000 migrants a year. Now the emergency can be ignored if the president decides it's not in our national interest. The Biden team retains the power to opt out of all limits on migrant numbers because there are broad humanitarian exceptions.”

“Mayorkas has unilateral authority to grant final asylum for individuals, which equals a rapid path to citizenship. A lot of Americans don't understand that. But when you get asylum, that's a path to citizenship.”

“And there's a broad exception to emergency provisions, again, that everyone's touting today based on the 'totality of circumstances test'-- that's broad enough to drive a truck through.”

The Fox News added, “And anyone who claims that 'fear of persecution or torture,' and they're just reading it from a laminated card when they cross the border, is not deported. But again, instead, they go through an arduous administrative process, OK? So they'll be tied up in that for a while.”

“This also codifies the controversial Biden rule that allows these far-left asylum officers, not immigration judges, to rule on individual asylum claims. Oh, just for good measure, it gives them a 15% raise as well.”

The host concluded, “It also includes $1.4 billion directed to providing shelters and immigration services--36 million to hire lawyers for some illegals. Finally, there's the automatic conditional permanent resident status for migrants who entered after July 2021. In other words, this is a grab bag of goodies for the Open Borders Caucus.”

Internet expressed frustration over the border bill

Many X users expressed their frustration over the border bill.

One person wrote, “If it is so bad then come up with solutions versus just bashing it.  People are tired of making this a political issue.  Solve it!” and another said, “Can you tell us what the Republican alternative is? Is there a Republican-MAGA bill floating around out there? Because if there isn't, that proves that this is a 'crisis' they don't want to solve.”

An X user simply expressed their anger, “Bill in senate should be a non-starter. I agree HELL NO!!!!” and another wrote, “First and foremost, the border issues should not be connected with Ukraine.  Separate the bills. Separate issues.”

One more person added, “The key takeaway, what concessions did the left make - zero! This is all we need to know to reject this Bill,” and another expressed, “This bill is insane. Basically they are throwing up the middle finger to AMERICANS!!  God help us.”
