Democratic idea. it came from senator schumer. i am skeptical not because it won't happen but because it's complete and utter overkill. this represents, alison, militarization of the southern border at a point where the border has been more secure than ever. but i think it does represent a huge problem for republicans, especially in the house, because they can't now talk about that there is no border security and they can't now talk about the fact that this bill will actually cost money because of the cbo numbers that came out saying that this bill will actually reduce the deficit by $1 trilli...

Would be 55 democrats plus all the extra republicans but i spoke with senator mike lee this week, and he's skeptical that they're going to get to that number partly because of the structure, the architecture of this bill, of this deal. you said that republicans said this will be the trigger for legalization of the bill. well, in fact, that's not the case. legalization comes first, then border security, and a lot of republicans they said, you know what? we have been down this road before, no pun intended, and border security never happens. so in order to get republicans on board, particularly i...
