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.
