Failed Border Bill Pushed by Democrat and Republican Senate Leaders

A border bill pushed by Democrat and Republican Senate leaders failed in a floor vote, only receiving 43 votes. The bill aimed to accelerate the inflow of economic migrants via asylum and parole loopholes. Democrats and independents joined GOP no-votes, with Senators like Bernie Sanders and Kyrsten Sinema voting against. Despite the failure, Democrats are likely pleased with the bill as it spreads blame for Biden's immigration policies.

Senate Vote on Border Bill and Immigration Policy

Democrats are re-staging a Senate vote on their failed February border bill, blaming Republicans for mass illegal migration. The bill aims to bring order to the southwest border but lacks significant curbs on migration. Both parties are using the issue for political gain in the run-up to the election.
