    Republicans were never going to vote for this bill because it doesn’t do enough:

    1. too many people in before the automatic border closures start.

    2. the border closures time periods aren’t long enough or are too loosely defined.

    3. the “loopholes” that still allow asylum processing when the border is closed.

    4. too much aid for Ukraine, and Israel…without an real regulation (I know, Democrats hate to know where all the money is going.)

    So, with that in mind, the REAL issue is why did FIVE Democrats vote against their own bill? Their own party wasn’t even united in favor for it…

      The bill was designed with Republicans, but house Republicans were in bad faith, and are Russian puppets and traitors. So quit the bullshit.

        “Russian puppets and traitors” oh please…stop it already. Republicans are just asking questions about why and where all this money is going. They are completely united with stopping Russia, they just don’t want to funnel endless money to the cause.
