Chuck Schumer: "SAVE act is dead on arrival"

Chuck Schumer: "Let me be clear. I will not allow this harmful bill, the SAVE Act, to become law. Every Democratic senator—every single one of us—is united in opposition. They need 60 votes. The SAVE Act is dead on arrival."

The Democratic Party, led by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, has expressed strong opposition to the SAVE Act (Secure America’s Borders and Visa Entry Act). Schumer stated unequivocally that he will not allow this legislation to move forward, calling it a "harmful" bill. According to him, every Democratic senator is united in opposition, and since 60 votes are required for passage, he asserted that the SAVE Act is "dead on arrival."

The Democrats' rejection reflects a critical stance toward the Republican-backed proposal, which aims to tighten border security and enforce stricter immigration policies. For Democrats, the bill represents an extreme approach that conflicts with their principles on immigration and human rights. Schumer’s statement made it clear that there will be no concessions, and that the Democratic bloc will use its power to block any legislative progress related to the SAVE Act.
