Senate Republicans managed to stitch together a unified front to advance President Donald Trump's roughly $70 billion immigration enforcement package, but divisions over the president’s agenda were laid bare after a marathon day of votes.

Passage of the budget reconciliation package geared toward funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol for the next three and a half years closes a long, drawn out chapter in the Senate that began during the longest shutdown in history.

It’s a point that Senate Republicans tried to return to throughout the day, reiterating that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats had forced their hands after refusing to fund immigration operations without a plethora of reforms.

The package now heads to the House, where Republicans are expected to pass it by next week.

Throw in the $19 billion a year in supplemental funding they are getting and they should have all the funding they need to deport every illegal in the country. No excuses.

I want to read the entirety of the legislation. There's no way they didn't include at least $20B worth of pork.

Meh.... I'd like to see all the bullshite that was added to this bill that made those spineless, traitorous, bitch Senators vote for it! That's how those prices of shite operate. The folks they represent aren't their priority. Their priority is sneaking and passing whatever lobbyist are paying them want to be passed.
