That's what YOU say. If you read the actual bill you can see policies in it that would beef up border security and reform things.
But it wouldn't get a single Democratic vote in the Senate.
That's what a "messaging bill" is. A bill that contains only one party's positions and preferences, and which (therefore) doesn't have a chance of becoming law. It doesn't mean that the bill doesn't contain substantive policies - it means that the drafters have deliberately avoided engaging in any of the work necessary to actually get the bill out of Congress. The purpose of the bill is to send a message about the party's position, rather than to get adopted.
Exactly what Schumer is doing with the doomed, formerly bi-partisan border bill...
