It also has a provision providing for its ability with no restrictions for border security, 7 billion or 8 billion that could be used to secure our borders, for deterrence, asylum and Detention Centers and care. Weighing all of that and seeing that as probably the best deal that we could get, and actually in discussion with leadership, Democrat
