If, instead of another complex, loophole-ridden fake-tough deal, Schumer & McConnell had just picked ONE of these GOP reforms–E-Verify, say, or Remain in Mexico, or limits on parole–and stapled it to the Ukraine & Israel aid , they might have gotten the package through, no? https://t.co/I1sJ1ciA4u

If the border bill’s author is complaining about a rush to judgment about his proposal–people should take the time to digest it!–how does Schumer than have a vote in 2 days? Seems like that schedule requires a rush to judgment. https://t.co/j4eaGmZ4m3

Question: If the House has already passed an Israel aid bill (with offsets, unlike the new one Johnson now plans) why does Congress need a new House Israel bill to have a conference with the Senate? Couldn’t the Senate go to a conference with the already-passed bill?… https://t.co/GigFAO5QIv

FAKE TOUGH: As suspected, the secret bill doesn’t close off asylum claims (even when th 5,000 target is hit!). It just funnels them through land ports of entry. What’s the difference, if they still get in? https://t.co/RuGX0exQZX
