Any bill that actually improves the situation should not sunset in three years... something is amiss

Sure. Pass this now, it takes effect presumably immediately, but then sunsets right in the middle of the 2028 election campaign. It's a double-sided trap.

If the bill worked (zero chance, but let's entertain the scenario), then there's pressure on Trump, say, to renegotiate a bill on the democrats' terms.

If the bill didn't work, then the democrats get to blame Trump for not fixing the border even though this bill would have tied his hands going into his Presidency.

I have to tip my cap to them. That's some next level Swamp Strategery.
