The Hill reported on Thursday that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy would bring the bill, introduced by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, to the floor for a vote.

Holding a vote on it gives it an opportunity to pass.

No...I’m not dissing the president and I know he can veto it. The whole thing sounds like a cute gaslighting stunt that could backfire in the worst ways....””Duh we will bring up an anti ICE vote just so Democrats can vote or not on it and look stoopid”(then all Dems do vote and a enough RINOs join in to make the bill veto proof...putting enormous pressure on the Senate Pubbies to save the day( as if we could trust Mc Connell)!

If the R's keep doing stuff like this not even the Dim's MSM comrades can save them in the midterms.
Dude, not even democrats would vote for it. That is the point.
I know that is the theory and I know that the suggested reason is that the bill is supposed to be a poison pill for the Dems who say one thing and vote for another...but this might not go the way people would think. We have RINO’s leaving the congress and they would like nothing better than to stick it to the American people!
