While you were asleep Friday night, the Senate passed a $1.3 trillion spending bill, which was signed later in the day by President Joe Biden.
It will fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year.
But Tennessee Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty managed to get every Senate Democrat on record as voting that the taxpayer-funded practice of secretly flying in illegal immigrants from foreign airports to United States cities is perfectly acceptable.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, apparently had agreed to a series of votes on Republican amendments to the spending bill in return for an up-or-down vote on the bill itself.
Hagerty thought it was important to highlight this practice and challenged Democrats by saying they were “afraid to take a position on Biden’s failed policies by voting on amendments to the appropriations bill.”
