The difference is that this number is codified in law and ties the hands of any President who wanted to declare an emergency along the border.

So what?

At least it's a number. Right now any President's hands are tied no matter what. If a caravan of 10 million people show up, he (or she) can do NOTHING. The bill had a number where he/she could do something. Because the bill died, there will continue to be no number at all. Not 5000, not 50,000,000. No number.

And it doesn't matter why anyone came to the table. Only the fact that they did. And MAGA screwed the pooch (and themselves, because now there is no number ever). As I've said before, I can live with it better than you can (based on your writings). And the far-left wing is delighted at the result (they hated this bill).
