The bill, negotiated by Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, and independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, was released by Democratic Senator Patty Murray of Washington. However, it was met with resistance from many House Republicans, including Mace.
During the interview, host Martha MacCallum questioned Mace about the bill, stating, "People were told, the funding for Ukraine and Israel and Taiwan wouldn’t happen unless we did something at the border first." She continued, "So then these negotiators get together, they work on a program to at least start to chip away at some of the problems that exist on the border, they come up with something and now Republicans, many of them, including yourself are shutting it down. What do you say to the American people about that?”

Mace responded by expressing her concerns about the bill, stating, “This bill keeps the border wide open. There’s so many loopholes in this bill it’ll make your head spin, and any Republican that supports it supports open borders, because it’s going to allow Secretary Mayorkas to have full discretion on who comes in above that 5,000 limit, it lowers the standard for those that are seeking asylum and look, the American people are tired of being an ATM machine for the illegal aliens that are coming across our border every single day and the more that I read, the language in this bill, the more frustrated I get with it. It’s not what we’re being sold.”

MacCallum further questioned Mace about whether she had read the bill, which allocates $60 billion in aid to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel. Mace, who still had 50 pages left to read, responded, “When you have a loophole on the other side on the very next page in the bill that puts a squash on any of that that you’re talking about there and allows bureaucrats to make the decisions rather than courts, that waters down the reasoning behind those seeking asylum, lowers the standard for those seeking asylum, that’s what we’re talking about here. That’s the language that we’re reading in the bill.”

Mace also expressed her intention to release a statement detailing her concerns about the bill, stating, “Part of what I can tell is we’re not being told the truth here about the bill and I’m going to put out a statement that goes through it page by page just like I did that bad debt ceiling bill last year that will outline to the American people what the truth is because they deserve nothing but the truth.”
The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported over 302,000 illegal immigrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in December, following nearly 380,000 encounters at the border during the first two months of fiscal year 2024, which began on Oct. 1, according to data released by the agency. The CBP also reported over 5.8 million encounters in fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023.
