Subject: Re: Schumer to reintroduce border bill
That's what YOU say. If you read the actual bill you can see policies in it that would beef up border security and reform things.
But it wouldn't get a single Democratic vote in the Senate.
That's what a "messaging bill" is. A bill that contains only one party's positions and preferences, and which (therefore) doesn't have a chance of becoming law. It doesn't mean that the bill doesn't contain substantive policies - it means that the drafters have deliberately avoided engaging in any of the work necessary to actually get the bill out of Congress. The purpose of the bill is to send a message about the party's position, rather than to get adopted.
Exactly what Schumer is doing with the doomed, formerly bi-partisan border bill...
