The \u2063Senate vote, which Democrats and independents upheld, was 47 \u2063to 51.

Do you support American taxpayer dollars being used to fly illegal immigrants from countries like Venezuela and Haiti into America to be settled in cities and towns near you? If so, vote against me,\u201d Hagerty said while discussing his amendment to spending legislation which would have prevented federal funds from being used for these flights. \u201cMake no mistake here, President Biden has been secretly flying hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into blue city airports.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tonight every single Senate Democrat voted against my amendment that would stop Biden Admin from using taxpayer dollars to charter flights for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from their countries directly to American towns to be resettled.<\/p>\n<p>Indefensible. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ofTnhSPnY8\">pic.twitter.com\/ofTnhSPnY8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Bill Hagerty (@SenatorHagerty) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorHagerty\/status\/1771414274524537251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 23, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All Democrats as well as the three independents who caucus with them voted against Hagerty\u2019s amendment, with the final vote total being 47 to 51.<\/p>\n<p>Hagerty previously authored an amendment that would have prevented illegal immigrants from being counted in the Census for apportioning seats in the House of Representatives, thereby inflating the political power of districts with large numbers of illegal immigrants. All Senate Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/senator-says-democrats-use-illegals-to-give-their-voters-disproportionately-more-power-than-gop-voters\">voted against this amendment<\/a> from Hagerty as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that this proves the motive behind the crime on our border,\u201d Hagerty said, adding, \u201cThey want these illegal migrants in here to create more electoral power for them in their blue states. They\u2019re basically creating sanctuary cities to be a magnet so these people will disproportionately flow to these blue states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe estimates are as high as 10 million people that have come here.
