The obvious workaround is to deport as many as possible.

Thune or Vance are failing to over rule her, they are responsible for this.

Vance may have allowed the vote to get 44 Democrats on record supporting Medicare for illegals.

The 55 Yays for the measure likely included all Republicans.

I’m curious to know which Democrats join them.

There are 53 rebubs and 47 dems. They got 56 votes for it. That means 3 dems crossed over and voted with the republicans. Unfortunately they needed 60.

Why was this parliamentarian not replaced as soon as the Senate was majority Republican, why isn't she being replaced right now?

Here's what Google AI says about the Senate parliamentarian,

quote:

The Senate Parliamentarian does not have a fixed term and serves at the pleasure of the Senate majority leader. They can be dismissed, resign, or retire, but there isn't a specific term length. The majority leader appoints the parliamentarian, and they can be replaced if the majority party changes.



And as usual, here's the problem, Republican inaction laced with incompetence.

And people wonder why Musk is pledging to form the America Party if the BBB is passed.

So an unelected senate staffer gets last word over an R led senate majority? She works for the senators. We’ve said it a million times. These senators have no fight.

It sucks that taxpayers will have to pay the medical expenses for illegals but if taxpayers don't pay, who does?

Would it mean the hospitals and emergency rooms would have to provide services free of charge or be forced to turn away a seriously injured person and not be treated?

Small rural hospitals could be forced to go bankrupt and shut down.

That sucks, too.

It’s actually strategic by the GOP. This Parliamentarian is not that bad for a Dem. If the GOP replaced her, then the Dems would eventually fire the GOP appointee and put in a MUCH worse Dem.

Easy for Vance to go over her head if needed.

You can pay for illegals or you can repeal EMTALA.
