Or maybe his number had more to do with the aid packages buried in there? Hmm.

Probably. There were a lot of Dems willing to hold their noses to get Ukraine aid to further confound Russia.

So in other words, the only reason some democrats were for the bill was to get the Ukraine dollars.

At last, an accurate statement. Yes. Without language about the DREAMERs, which is a big Dem issue, it would have been a hard sell without Ukraine aid.

I think it would have improved some things. "Solved" is a bit strong. But "improved" would be accurate. However, the Border Patrol were behind the bill because it gave them more resources to deal with this problem, more money for asylum courts, etc. Neither side of this debate would have regarded it as a panacea. But a definite improvement over what we current have (which, perhaps, is a low bar to clear).
