WE DO NOT HAVE 60 Republicans in the US Senate. What is wrong with you? We only have 51. That's why we can't pass a gawd damn bill or get funding for the wall or anything else related to stopping illegal immigration or reducing legal immigration. That's why Trump tried to get 70 good things in a DACA Deal in exchange for 1 bad thing.

I think you're the one who needs to "wake up" and get up to speed on what we have and do not have in Congress.

Republicans do not "control" the Congress. We have majorities in the Congress, but we do not control the Senate on legislation or funding UNTIL WE HAVE 60 VOTES. We're 9 short and of course not all Republicans vote the same on everything so we need at least 11 more to have actual control of the US Congress.

Of course they would vote to solve this invasion. It's what their constituents want and what most of them want themselves. Not all districts are the same, so you're going to have a few vote differently for one reason or another, so you need a couple of extras or need to give them something else in exchange for their vote on the bills and funding you want.

VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2018!!!

I can't believe you've been ranting and raving like you have and you don't even know how many Republican Senators we have and how many more we need to pass a damn bill.

Incredible.
