Not Dead Yet

There’s been a lot of sensational reporting over the last 24 hours regarding the Senate’s so-called “border security deal.” Some reports even suggested that the bill was “dead.” Don’t believe them. It is not dead yet.

Powerful forces, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, want this bill, and they will not go quietly into the night. 

But it is clear many Republican senators are angry that Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer is rushing to jam this through the Senate with a vote tomorrow. 

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated he will vote against tomorrow’s vote to take up the legislation, and he’s urging other Republicans to do so in order to get more time to dig into the details. 

That is the bare minimum that should be done! If tomorrow’s vote is delayed or defeated, that will give you a chance to contact your senators during their upcoming recess.
