Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also voted "no" so that he could introduce a motion to reconsider the measure. After the vote, Democrat Schumer said it was a "serious moment that will have lasting consequences for the 21st century," risking the decline of Western democracy.

Republicans said it was essential to make their case for tighter immigration policies and control of the southern border.
