The bill was terrible. My guess is that it was the best they thought they could get with Dem support. You should go read the bill or a summary. It would have allowed tens of thousands in before any enforcement was started.
Why did Trump spike it? Maybe he knew he could shut the border without it. Seems like he was correct, and Biden could have done it too. I wonder why he didn’t?
