Or was this shoved into a bill that includes a bunch of shit that has nothing to do with that question?

Republicans largely opposed the bill over what they have described as a Biden administration-fueled "crisis" at the U.S.-Mexico border. Republicans cite record numbers of Customs and Border Protection encounters with immigrants at the border and drug seizure numbers.
The bill "creates additional carve outs to an already broken immigration system," Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., the ranking member and likely next chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, said on the floor. "Right now, DHS can't even do their job of securing the southern border and enforcing immigration law."
Republicans also argued that most deported veterans have committed other crimes and so are too dangerous to be in the country.
