I am not sure if wanting more illegals in the country was the reason for their voting “yes”. I think they think it was 1) more important to go about it another way that uses a legislative solution or 2) in some cases (e.g., Romney) they hate Trump.
Having said that, I do support the use of other funds including the National emergency to continue wall building and hope this all plays out will in the Courts.
The question to congress was if or not there is an emergency on the border...because the “another way” had already been down that road. They said no emergency ...period!
