They only backed it because they knew it would fail. Most Democrats quietly support ICE

I see the Democrats have reached the let’s just do everything at once and hope nobody reads the headline stage of the session.

This is not the first time we have done this (FDR, Eisenhower, LBJ, Nixon all had variations of this).
IN some cases it was very successful, but only after switching to fines for the businesses doing the hiring.
The simple solution: Give the 75 billion to Medicare and 75 billion to ICE. On the condition that ICE self funds through fines against businesses and those doing the hiring.
Watch how quickly money shifts into reasonable immigration reform rather than the nonsense we’re doing now.
This action is just performative politics to make you feel good.

It failed because there’s less Democrats than Republicans. This is on us the voters to give Democrats majorities that last longer than 2 years

There was $75B for ICE, but $75B for peoples health is not in the buget? 4D chess economics. /s

Alas, it didn’t pass.

Only Collins and Murkowski defected from the GOP.
