Maybe Trump’s legislative agenda isn’t so “radical” after all. The first Senate vote of the year was an 84 to 9 landslide on the motion to proceed to the Laken Riley Act.

The bill would require illegal aliens arrested for theft to be federally detained, which sponsors say would have prevented the release of Jose Ibarra in New York, before he went to Georgia and brutally murdered Laken Riley.

These were the 9 nay votes, which is limited to the very radical fringe of the Democratic Party:

The 84 votes indicate that a broader immigration bill could proceed quickly on a bipartisan basis, without having to be shoehorned into a budget reconciliation process.

So pass immigration reform through the regular order rules of Congress (and dare Democrats to vote against border security) and reserve the reconciliation process that requires only a 51 vote majority in the Senate for the Trump tax cut extension bill to come – as soon as possible.
