YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Wednesday the upcoming reconciliation fight to fund ICE and CBP will show a sharp contrast between Republican and Democratic priorities.
“Forget about being on the same page — Republicans are not on the same planet as the American people,” he said at a press conference.
Republicans are aiming to use the reconciliation process to approve three years of funding for ICE and CBP with a party-line vote after failing to reach a deal with Democrats on reforms to immigration enforcement operations.
As part of that process, the Senate will soon begin a vote-a-rama on a GOP budget resolution, where an unlimited number of amendment votes can be forced on the floor.
Democrats say they will use the vote-a-rama to force tough votes on cost-of-living issues.
“Senate Democrats will make these contrasts abundantly clear, vote after vote, amendment after amendment, during vote-a-rama. Republicans are about to learn the hard way when they refuse to reduce costs, American families lose and they lose,” Sen. Schumer said.
“This will be a reconciliation of reckoning for Senate Republicans,” he added.
