1. After getting literally everything they want in this 4,155-page monstrosity, the Democrats won’t give us an up-or-down vote on an amendment to preserve Title 42. Why? Because it will pass, and that terrifies them because they want chaos on the border.
2. The omnibus contains nothing to secure the border, and in fact contains language undermining border security. Without an up-or-down vote on Title 42, every Senate Republican should oppose cloture on this bill.
3. With a 4,155-page omnibus spending bill that advances Democratic priorities and spends too much money, Republicans should remember that they don’t have to support this beast.
4. Senate Republicans should instead support a short-term spending bill, allowing the new Congress—with the incoming Republican House—to start the spending process over again in January.
5. In the meantime, all Senate Republicans should be ready and willing to return to the Capitol to support Title 42, even on short notice.
