    In Huge Reversal, GOP Poised To
    Kill The Border-Ukraine Package
    It Demanded
    Feb 5, 2024

    This is not a surprise to anyone is it? The GOP has become notorious
    for abandoning it's own legislation once they've achieved agreement on
    it from the opposition.

    Indeed.

    GOP Opposes Their Own Ideas — If Obama Backs Them
    Tue, 26 Jun 2012

    One idea Republicans had been pushing was
    a proposal for a bipartisan commission to
    recommend tough deficit-reduction measures.
    But then the Obama administration decided
    to embrace the idea.

    And, lo and behold, as Mike Allen reported
    in Politico, the Republicans promptly
    turned on their heels and repudiated it.
    Six of the bill's Republican co-sponsors
    voted against it.

    Obama:

    "This law failed by seven votes when seven
    Republicans who had co-sponsored the bill —
    had co-sponsored the idea — suddenly walked
    away from their own proposal after I
    endorsed it"

    The National Border Patrol Council, which
    represents approximately 18,000 Border Patrol
    agents and support personnel, has endorsed the
    bipartisan border security package that Arizona
    Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and others have been
    working on for months.
