In a startling display of what can only be called treason, every single Senate Democrat cast their vote against an amendment proposed by Republican Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, which sought to halt the use of taxpayer funds to transport illegal immigrants directly from their countries of origin to American cities.
The amendment, which aimed to address the Biden administration’s admission of flying approximately 320,000 foreign nationals to undisclosed locations across the United States in 2023, failed to pass with a vote of 47-51.
Sen. Hagerty, expressing his disbelief at the Democrats’ stance, took to the Senate floor to confront his colleagues. “Let me cut through the procedural language here,” he began. “I’m bringing forward a vote on a very simple question: Do you support American taxpayer dollars being used to fly illegal immigrants from countries like Venezuela and Haiti into America to be settled in towns and cities near you? If so, then vote against me.”
Tonight every single Senate Democrat voted against my amendment that would stop Biden Admin from using taxpayer dollars to charter flights for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from their countries directly to American towns to be resettled.

The senator’s remarks came amidst growing concerns over the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis.
Despite the president’s attempts to shift blame to the Republicans, his administration has taken nearly 100 executive actions that have weakened national sovereignty.
The practice of transporting illegal immigrants to American cities, often under the cover of darkness, has raised alarm among many citizens and lawmakers.
Billionaire Elon Musk, who has been outspoken on the issue, voiced his worries about the potential ramifications of these actions. “This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants,” Musk warned on X, formerly known as Twitter. “It is highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11. Just a matter of time.”
Sen. Hagerty further suggested that Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer strategically scheduled votes related to the border in the middle of the night to minimize public attention. “That’s why Chuck Schumer scheduled this vote in the middle of the night (on Friday),” Hagerty explained. “He did the same 2 weeks ago on my vote to stop illegals from being counted in the census. They are trying to hide it.”
Nothing unites Dems like open borders.
They don’t do it because it’s popular w/ the American people.
They do it because it increases their power in Congress & Presidential elections through the census.
I’ve now proven it twice by forcing them to state their position publicly. https://t.co/M0J8lM9n9x pic.twitter.com/tteXseCQDl

The Democrats’ united front in opposing the amendment and their apparent willingness to continue funding the transportation of illegal immigrants to American cities has raised questions about their motives.
Sen. Hagerty attributed their stance to a desire for increased power in Congress and presidential elections through the census. “Nothing unites Dems like open borders,” he asserted. “They don’t do it because it’s popular \[with\] the American people. They do it because it increases their power in Congress & Presidential elections through the census. I’ve now proven it twice by forcing them to state their position publicly.”
