SAVE Act Stalls in Senate as GOP Moderates Flip, New Bill Offers Path to Passage
Key takeaways for you: The Senate failed to advance the bipartisan SAVE Act in a surprise 48-52 vote, as three moderate Republicans broke ranks over immigration enforcement loopholes. A revised version, introduced by Senator Collins, eliminates these exemptions and gains support from five key Democrats, shifting momentum toward a likely final vote next week. Expect market uncertainty on border security stocks to stabilize if the new bill passes, potentially unlocking $2.1B in DHS procurement funds.
