I’m all for voting individually. But it seems you guys only want to do so when it’s a gop policy. Besides these are all related to Immigration anyway.
I was against the ACA overall, but I have always been against this sort of thing. I'm also against omnibus spending bills, opting instead for actual budgets and normal order appropriations bills. This is one of those holder things from when I was more of a libertarian, but that was during the ACA days, so there is that.
As for them all being related, I can literally tie any policy issue to another issue. Every single one. I can tie Interior to Defense. That doesn't mean these things that can tangentially be related should be tied together in this way. It's political gamesmanship that puts the lives of citizens at risk.
