The bill failed after top Republicans, including Cruz, were able to review and expose its
details. Chuck Schumer’s bill was designed to make matters even worse, not to solve the border crisis, Sen. Cruz told Sean Hannity: “This whole thing has been a disaster from the very beginning. It has been a disaster on policy and it’s been a disaster on politics. On policy, this bill is terrible. It is a bill that Chuck Schumer wanted that is designed not to secure the border – not just not to secure the border, it is designed to make it worse.”
