There are too many illegal people that are not being vetted not being checked for diseases just let loose in our country on the premise that they show up for their hearing. There is a legal way to do this, and it's not fair to those who have done it the right way.

It is not really a political question. It is a question of security. We have none. We are wide open for a terrorist attack. The last major one resulted in 20 years of war.

It's both Political, and a security breach. The illegal immigrants that crossed the border in December alone, is only 5,000 less people that live in Boone, Callaway, and Cole counties combined. Biden has launched a war, against the United States of America. Our National Debt just exceeded 34 billion

It should be a major issue with anyone who locks their doors when they sleep. Anyone with common sense would know that, that's why Biden does not know that.

It is definitely an issue. It's too bad Republicans want to KEEP it an issue to campaign on rather than negotiate with Democrats to fix the problem.

As a teacher, I have literally received dozens of Venezuelan students into my classroom. They are great! The work is hard, but that’s what we all need to do. We need to view people as assets not deficits.

Not an issue. Nature has no borders. When was the last time a goose was shot because it had crossed the border illegally?

This is a good start and the best that could be passed. Don't let perfect be the enemy of great.

They should support the president and the constituents who voted them in. That includes us who believe you work for what you get. No handouts!

The cuts didn't go deep enough. Ex. Musk's criticisms about how the EV mandates would be cut (good thing), but no cuts to the auto industry subsidies (bad thing). The liberal/socialist media is already lying to folks how this bill is throwing grandma under the bus. Proof? Look at the 'No' comments.

It is a wealth transfer Bill: From the poorest Americans to the richest.

Please don’t do that! Trump promised no cuts to Medicaid but her we are just 5months into his term and he is doing that!

Help for the rich to get richer and it puts more average people in worse situations. Don't cut Medicaid or Social Security

They are going to take Medicaid away from 16 million people and who knows what else. Josh Hawley has got to go if he votes yes.

Tax reductions for the super rich ... doesn't make sense when it cuts necessary programs and helps inflate our Country's debt

The only way they can make this look like it doesn’t completely destroy the deficit is by making certain tax cuts and spending increases “temporary.” I support the tax cuts, as long as they are met with subsequent spending cuts. The true burden of government is what it spends, not what it taxes.

We will vote every last Republican out of office. Stealing food and Healthcare from [anyone] to profit the rich is an act of war and shall be treated as such.

It would increase the national debt by about 3 trillion dollars, and take away necessary infrastructure, all while lowering taxes on the wealthy.

As a customer of the Affordable Care Act I find it appalling that the two senators from Missouri would even consider supporting this bill that will potentially triple my monthly premium and also cut benefits. They should be ashamed of themselves for bowing down to the President. Checks and balances

You are kidding, right? Missouri congressmen need to read their job descriptions and represent their constituents. Voting for this bill is a betrayal of the will of the people.

Millionaires and billionaires don't need a tax break as much some people need health care. Also, social security's fund needs fixed which would have been a better use for that $45 million he wasted on a parade. Trump has all his priorities wrong.

They were elected to represent their constituents, ALL CONSTITUENTS not just those whom they perceived voted for them. Don't let anyone hold their vote hostage.
