The Senate wisely rejected the legislation, with fewer than 50 senators voting for it.
Now Schumer is back, pushing for another vote, which he is sure to lose by an even bigger margin.
Unlike Senate Democrats, voters know the border is in crisis.
Tammy Baldwin, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Jacky Rosen, and Jon Tester, are desperate to vote on the Lankford bill again.
Much has been made of "New authority" the legislation gives Biden to "Shut down the border." But it doesn't require Biden to do anything.
The legislation creates a permanent new system for processing illegal migrants called a "Noncustodial removal proceeding." All migrants processed through this new system must be released into the United States.
Republicans who are challenging Democrats in red and purple states should be pleased Schumer is bringing Lankford's bill up for a stand-alone vote.
