The immigration bill being used by Democrats as evidence of their commitment to border security has been trashed by Republican senators.

"That bill was awful. It killed itself," Sen. Ron Johnson , R-Wis., told Fox News Digital of the bill that was negotiated by Sens. Chris Murphy , D-Conn. , Kyrsten Sinema , I-Ariz., and James Lankford .

The bill would have expanded what are known as alternatives to detention ( ATD ) for those who enter the country illegally.

Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning on signing the bill into law if she is elected president in November .

Tillis noted that Biden and Harris "conveniently leave out how they haven't enforced existing laws" Romney reiterated his disagreement with some of his conference members on the measure.
