Well, here we go again.

The Senate has put together an "Immigaration" bill that will cost us taxpayers around 118B!
Yep, 118 Billion bucks, but let's analyze just a bit here, 14B goes to Israel, 60B goes to Ukraine, 4.8B goes to Indo-Pacific (whoever the hell they are) and 10B goes to Gaza, leaving around 29B to spend on actual immigration.
IMO these riders have to be done away with.
A bill should deal with one and only one situation, and shuold stand or fail on it's own merits.
But the horse trading going on is the only way anything ever gets done (I will not use the word accomplish when it deals with congress, they ACCOMPLISH nothing.)
