    Good luck getting the perfect bill. Would probably be the first in our history.

    Not even a perfect bill …… just one that dealt with immigration. There’s absolutely no reason for the Senate to combine the three issues in one other than democrats wanting to force House republicans to kill the convolution. Partisan politics by Senate democrats.

    As a reminder, Republicans demanded combining these issues:

    Republicans threaten to reject Ukraine aid unless Democrats agree to tighten U.S. immigration laws

    So, the argument here is:
    1. Demand that a bill contain issue A (which you support) and issue B (which you support).
    2. Vote down bill containing issue A and issue B.
    3. Say that you voted it down because the bill contained issue A (which you support) and issue B (which you support).

    Thanks for the chuckle and setting the record straight. "There's absolutely no reason for the Senate to combine these issues other than partisan politics by the democrats."

    Lord, please give me the ability to argue with absolutely certainty about topics which I know nothing...like a Trump supporter.

    Without the ukraine funding, doubtful the dems would have been on board anyway.

    You figure that I and other liberals want more rapists here, because that's the kind of people we are?

    That's how a consensus is reached and laws are made.

    Bingo. That's pretty much politics in a nutshell. "This immigration bill is that important to you? Ukraine is that important to us. Let's make a deal we can both live with."

    At least we are capable of thought.

    However, once again, the point of my post sailed right over the head of the zombie Republi-ban masses.
