Senate vote · S.J.Res. 18 · On the Joint Resolution · May 17, 2023Borders

Would have cancelled a rule that narrowed when an immigrant can be refused entry or a green card for being likely to depend on government benefits.

Liberty position
Yea
The Senate voted
50 Yea, 47 Nay
Why Yea is the liberty side
Voting yes backs a stricter test for immigrants who would rely on welfare.

I say Yea was the liberty side. Agree, or not? Readers argue it here, in their own words. Not mine, and not checked the way a vote is.
