Popular podcaster Darryl Cooper, better known as Martyr Made, posted his thoughts on the $118 billion Senate immigration bill and suggested that border security negotiations between Republicans and Democrats are all for show because both parties have the same goals.
The bipartisan bill provides a huge amount of money to foreign countries – more than $78 billion – rather than to the US border – $20 billion.
Sean Davis, co-founder of the Federalist, described the bill as an “abomination” that “legalizes the invasion of 2 million illegals every year, pays their lawyers and gives Ukraine another $60 billion.”
“Your government hates you and wants to replace you, but until that happens, they will steal every last penny from you,” Davis added.
Note that Davis didn’t say “Democrats hate you.”

Are border security negotiations a farce?
Cooper was drawn by Davis’ comments to say the quiet part out loud.
“There AND no disagreements between Democrats and Republicans on either border security or unlimited aid to Ukraine [and] Israel,” he wrote.
“It’s a shell game, the ‘negotiations’ are fake and everyone is on the same side,” reads post be blamed on the other.”
Indeed. How many times have we heard Republicans in the Senate or House say the days of blank checks for foreign wars are over only to see them negotiate a “bipartisan” bill with Democrats and hand President Biden a talking point victory?
Ukraine and Israel are repeatedly rewarded handsomely, while funding the border is like pulling teeth and is only a fraction of what these other countries get. These foreign countries, by the way, are invaded much less than ours. America is at war and both Democrats and Republicans are funding nations that do nothing to benefit their constituents.

As of this writing, Martyr Made’s X post has been viewed more than a quarter of a million times and shared by major social media personalities like cartoonist Scott Adams and MMA fighter Jake Shields.
The popularity of messages about border security negotiations seems to indicate a level of agreement among readers.
“Immigration reform bill is a misnomer. This is actually the Proxy War funding bill with minor changes to immigration,” one user responded.
“The lion’s share of funding will go to other countries. Don’t fall for it.”
Donald Trump Jr. recently criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his failed leadership on border security. And he burned the Republicans who bought into this nonsense.
“Don’t fall for the latest border bait and get out of the swamp,” he said. “This so-called ‘border security’ bill is just another step towards amnesty and endless dollars for Ukraine.”
Trump then added: “Why do Senate Republicans continue to let themselves be led by a mentally declining pro-amnesty turtle?”
Because, as Sean Davis and ‘Martyr Made’ stated above, they are all part of one big Uniparty. They don’t even try to hide it anymore.
