Legislation has next to no chance of passing but Democrats hope to show Republicans are not serious about solving border issue
Senate Democrats on Thursday will force a second vote on a bipartisan border security bill that Republicans blocked earlier this year at Donald Trump’s behest.
The legislation has next to no chance of passing the chamber, but Democrats hope the attempt will strengthen their argument that Republicans are not serious about addressing the situation at the US border with Mexico, an issue that polls show is a top concern among voters – and one of Joe Biden’s biggest political liabilities.
“Our bipartisan border bill represented a real chance – in fact, the best chance in decades – to act on border security, to make a law and not just to make a political point,” Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday.

Wait…
So you want them to codify trump era policies?
I’m sorry, I didn’t think anyone would have that opinion. I assumed you thought he was bluffing, because if Dems do pass something like this, it’s going to lose Biden even more voters than funding a genocide.
But if you’re going to start insulting people, I think we’re done here.
Great modding there. I said he was “unhinged” and I guess that’s not politely worded enough.
Give me a break.
