from Today Magz · host Allday Media

The fund faced severe bipartisan criticism. Senate Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, refused to support it. The controversy completely stalled a crucial $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill because lawmakers refused to advance it while the fund existed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-magz--6737390/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes!
