What's this?

Link? The one that led to the "chithole" countries comment? I'll admit I

didn't even realize (or have totally forgotten) that got to a vote, and am surprised it got that far. Pretty sure the two I mentioned didn't, but that's a silly point when determining what is and isn't a good bill and protects the DACA crowd. Not sure I've seen a (valid and realistic) plan that protected them more than offering 1.8M a path to citizenship.
