Senators rejected a border bill backed by Schumer and some Democrats that Republicans claimed would be 'worse than doing nothing.'
The Senate failed to advance a border bill backed by some Democrats and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday, seeing the measure garner less support than it did in February when it was first considered. By a vote of 43-50, senators chose not to advance the bill, which was negotiated in a bipartisan nature by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., and James Lankford, R-Okla.
'Democrats believe that, Republicans have been saying it, and that’s why three months ago we sat down with them to write a strong and necessary and bipartisan border security bill.' Several Republicans held a press conference on Wednesday, during which they shredded the forthcoming vote, even claiming the measure was 'worse than doing nothing' because of certain immigration provisions. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
