Chuck Schumer's second try to pass $22.5B border bill stunningly fails

Daily Mail  

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's second attempt to revive a border security bill failed spectacularly Thursday as even more Democrats joined Republicans to kill his effort. In May 2023, House Republicans passed a border bill that they believe would appropriately address what they claim is a 'border crisis,' but that measure, H.R.2, has not been touched by the Democrat-controlled upper chamber. Trying to explain the difference to voters, Schumer said Wednesday on the Senate floor 'Tomorrow, Senators face an important decision: will both sides come together to advance a bipartisan border security bill, or will partisanship get in the way yet again?' Earlier that day, Democrats blocked consideration of Sen. John Barrasso's, R-Wyo., Build The Wall Act, which would have finished construction on a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border using unspent COVID-19 pandemic funds.
