The Spin
Democratic narrative
Considering how many concessions Democrats made to Republicans on certain aspects of this bill, Republicans were wrong to reject it the first time and should strongly consider the impact of voting against it again. In addition to doing nothing to secure the border — which they talk about so much — Republicans would be taking a precarious political position on this issue.
Republican narrative
Republicans rejected this bill the first time because of its flaws, which have not been fixed. This bill will codify most of Pres. Biden's failed policies that have put the country in this predicament. If Democrats are serious about border security, they'll get behind the House bill, which would revive many successful Trump-era border policies.
