The idea counts on using budget reconciliation later to cover ICE operations and push forward parts of the Asave America Act for stronger election. Rules. Scott calls that strategy unrealistic and unlikely to happen.

The fallout is hitting hard, with more than 400 transportation security administration workers quitting without pay, leading to massive, airport delays and families struggling to buy groceries or avoid eviction. Scott's sharp opposition reveals deepening Republican doubts about half measures, making it tougher to strike a deal that truly secures borders and elections anytime soon.
