A bill that is coming to the floor that we dont know what is going to happen. We have been told by Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell that he has no parameters for this bill. That he is not bringing a specific set of requirements to the floor. He is going to open the door to a series of hills being voted on and lets see if any of them get 60 votes and pass. Bill he is bringing up tonight has nothing to do with immigration. Guest it to be about anything. You can put up a bill about french bread pastries. The whole idea is that the senate does not know what there is a majority to support. Has said, okleader lets bring up all your bordern proposals wall and rollback of some Legal Immigration. Some sort of citizenship for most of the dreamers. But that package on the floor and see if they get 60 votes. If it does not come up with the Democratic Alternat
