CBS Pesters Tom Cotton on His Bill to Secure Border: Pick Better Legislation

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalists on Tuesday pestered Tom Cotton, wondering why the Republican Senator wasn’t offering up an immigration bill more to their liking. Co-host John Dickerson talked to the conservative and noted that his proposed legislation “calls for $25 billion for a wall and border security, limits to family-based immigration, and an end to the diversity visa lottery program.” Dickerson wondered, “Can it get 60 votes, which is the threshold there in the Senate?” After the Senator didn’t give him the answer he was looking for, the journalist lectured, “But you can't get any Democratic votes for your bill to get it out of the Senate. So you're focused on passing a law, but it's not going to get out of the Senate, which means it won't be a law.”
