The same “bipartisan bill” that simply would make legal all the illegalities of recent years and lock in (a minimum) 5,000 new “immigrants” per day?

That bill?

Glad it was killed.

And the fine print read 5000 MEXICAN immigrants per day. Since most of the immigrants were coming from 140 other countries there was no limit.

The vast majority of the bill was 1500 more agents, to further expedite the paperwork and get them on their way. Increased transportation, money for sanctuary cities etc.

The piece that chaps my arse is when they say "more agents" implying they will actually stop invaders rather than help increase the flow by reducing bottlenecks. What aholes.

Didn't that bill still allow up to 5000/day before they shut it down?

Edit: I should have looked at the previous posts. The question was answered

How could anyone support such a terrible bill?.

This was posted by someone a while back in a similar thread.

Here are some of the items included in the bill that had nothing to do with border security:

• $60.06 billion to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia. (Roughly 3x more than what the border security would receive.)

• $14.1 billion in security assistance for Israel.

• $2.44 billion to support operations in the U.S. CENTCOM and address unrest and combat expenditures in the Red Sea.

• $10 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine, and other populations caught in conflict zones across the globe.

• $4.83 billion to support Indo-Pacific allies and deter Chinese aggression

• $2.33 billion to continue support for Ukrainian refugees displaced after the war against Russia.

• $400 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program in aid to help nonprofits and places of worship enhance their security.

TOTAL: $94.460 billion US taxpayer dollars going to non-border crisis-related endeavors.

Which of the policies that Kamala discussed during the debate do you like the most/least?

Pro choice, child tax credit, and pro ACA.

But the best part was how she showed how easily triggered Trump was. If you watched that and can't see how leaders like Putin can push his buttons than you are in denial.

The moderator was trying to get him to respond on immigration, his debate team spent days prepping him to talk about immigration, but he had to respond to a comment about his rallies that no one would have remembered if he didn't take the bait.

Yeah, I’m screaming at the tv about allowing 5000 illegals in our country daily with that stupid bill but he didn’t say it. I guess it’s a lot harder to speak before millions with a 3 person to one debate than to your tv. Go Trump!
