Because we actually want to stop this, it is to important. It isn’t just a symbolic issue, it is ballgame.
but is it just a symbolic issue? To me the common sense way would be to get the immigration issue into one bill - no amendments. Then debate it and defeat it once and for all. By doing it that way the issue is dead. And the proponents are identified without resorting to guessing and reading between the lines of every speech. It is a matter of who voted “yea.”
What are the other options?
