This bill is unlikely to pass, as it displeases both sides of the aisle. The Senate bill is more viable at this point. It just needs to come to a vote.

Nah, Republicans need to say they did something about the BorDEr cRiSIs that they made up.

The exact opposite. If they do anything now, Biden might get the credit, and they don't want that. That's why they sunk the last bill.

The fact that they are talking is good news of a fashion.

I believe that the Republican Party is going to collapse in the next 36 months. This is a start.

An aid bill will eventually be passed. Congress must keep their overlords in the military industrial complex happy.
