I think the bill is drafted in such a way that when democrats come asking for compromise on this, republicans will have leverage with the border security portion. They can be like "yeah if we decrease the number of years, we're gonna need X more dollars for man power." Anyone with even a clue for negotiations knows two things: one, your first offer isn't what you want/willing to give and two, don't show all your cards up front. I'm assuming some people here when they get hired or promoted take the first offer they get?
