False choice: it's not either or; every Democratic vote on this budget bill will affect every single childhood arrival, thousands of TPS recipients who are childhood arrivals, and the children rotting away in detention centers right now.

Kudos to Sens. Murray and Cantwell for standing up for Americans and their right to health care and safety; for a clean environment, and for feedom of information, speech, and a free press by fighting for net neutrality.
