Schumer: ‘Senate Republicans Are Choosing to Follow Trump and Stephen Miller Instead of the Needs of American Families’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Let’s go right to the issue here. Now, Americans want one thing now, relief. That’s what Americans want right now. Lower gas, lower groceries, lower electric bills, lower costs for housing, lower costs for health care, lower cost for childcare. Unfortunately, Republicans seem to have a different priority. $140 billion for ICE and Border Patrol, no reforms, no accountability, no strings attached. Let it sink in. $140 billion for ICE, $0 to lower your costs. That’s these days what the Republican Party seems to stand for. Senate Republicans are choosing to follow Trump and Stephen Miller instead of the needs of the American families. Throughout reconciliation, Democrats are going to focus on cost and affordability over and over again. Democrats — during vote-a-rama, Democrats are going to force a choice over and over again.”
