One Republican lawmaker is arguing that former President Donald Trump‘s push to have the GOP reject the bipartisan border deal in an attempt to use immigration to win in the 2024 election is more than political malpractice.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) slammed Trump’s attempts to kill the bipartisan border deal that Congress is currently debating. Trump told Republican lawmakers that they should not “do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING.”

These efforts have annoyed members of Congress on both sides of the aisle since it appears to be Trump trying to stop President Joe Biden from getting a legislative win, even if Republicans benefit from the deal too.

“I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy,” Tillis said, according to NBC News. “It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the linchpin for President Trump to win.”

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) also expressed disgust at the idea of killing a bill in order to put Trump in a better position on the campaign trail. Romney called Trump’s attempt to kill the Ukraine-border deal “appalling.”

The Utah senator argued there is an issue at the border and that anyone who cares about the border would be trying to solve it now rather than delaying it for political reasons and taking credit for fixing it later.

The Senate cut a deal on Friday that would grant the Biden administration a new expulsion authority if average migrant encounters exceed 4,000 a day across a one-week window.

Biden has spoken out in support of the legislation, stating that he would approve it if Congress passes it.

The House appears more resistant, however. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a letter on Friday that any border deal that is not the one he passed last year would be “dead on arrival.”
