    Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Neil Munro
    on whether Casey DeSantis believes that her path to WhiteHouse.GOV
    was dashed by Ron's inability to secure funding from Miriam Adelson,
    Robert Bigelow, Walter Buckley, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia Koch,
    Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, Thomas Peterffy, Bruce Rauner, Chris
    Reyes, David Sacks and Steve Wynn for advertisements on Lachlan
    Murdoch's FoxNews.COM featuring the likes of Mike Emmons warning
    legacy American proles that Donald Trump will betray them with
    comprehensive immigration reform legislation passed by the likes of
    Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell so long as the Cheap Labor Lobby
    includes the magic words "merit-based": <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/01/13/lankford-sets-high-bar-republican-support-bipartisan-border-giveaway/>
    | "I don't think there are 25 [Republican] votes there," said Chris
    | Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project,
    | "unless those Republican senators want to vote ... alongside Biden
    | and [border chief Alejandro] Mayorkas."
    |
    | Even Tillis suggested in a floor speech on January 10 that less than
    | half of the GOP caucus would back the bill:
    |
    || I think we'll probably have 25 or 30 members in this body that
    || won't vote for it. Some will be because it didn't go too far [sic];
    || others it didn't go far enough ... But we need about 70 votes
    || [including 20 GOP votes] coming out of this chamber to create the
    || momentum to get it done in the House. And I'm going to be one of
    || those 70 votes.
    |
    | The swing Republicans needed by Tillis and Lankford include Sens.
    | John Barrasso (R-WY), Todd Young (R-IN), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK),
    | Steve Daines (R-MT), Jodi Ernst (R-IA), Katie Britt (R-AL), John
    | Kennedy (R-LA), and Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
    |
    | These swing-voting GOP Senators know that many public polls show
    | that independents and GOP voters strongly oppose President Joe
    | Biden's easy migration policies. Current trends show that opposition
    | is growing as more of Biden's poor migrants are stuffed into
    | Americans' schools, cities, and suburbs.

    Does Trump regret taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the
    National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and
    Kamala Harris?
