@virbonus @Bahnya @SeanCasten If there'd been another Dem "Nay" then one of the performative Republican nays would've been a yea.

@virbonus @Bahnya @SeanCasten Yes, seven Dems voted yea. That measure, however, did NOT increase funding for DHS as you suggested, but included a $115 million reduction in funding for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, a decrease of 5,500 ICE detention beds and a $1.8 billion cut in Border Patrol funding. It also strengthens oversight of ICE through the Office of the Inspector General and Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Still didn't go far enough, but you're blaming the wrong party.

@Bahnya @SeanCasten Not a single Democrat in either the House or Senate voted for the BBB, which funded this nightmare. GFY, which seems to be the only useful use of your time.
