How desperate are the democrats to shift the narrative on illegal immigration? This desperate:

Senate Democrats on Thursday refiled a previously failed bipartisan border security bill in a bid to force Republicans to again oppose legislation they helped craft just months before the November election.

But the Republican co-author of the measure will vote down the proposal this go-around and disparaged what he called a “nonserious” attempt to score political points off the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.

“It’s just a messaging piece,” Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the lead GOP negotiator on immigration, said. “This is trying to poke Republicans in the eye rather than try to solve the problem.”

And he's right. If Schumer wants a border support bill, all he has to do is take up the House Bill that's already passed.

But he won't, because for the d's this has always been about performative optics and never about actually securing the border.
