Jason Chaffetz: The Senate should vote to open the government, fund the wall and force Dems to vote 'nay'

The Senate should vote to open the government and fund the border wall. In fact, senators should vote on it every single day.
The Senate can amend anything the House sends over and then call for a vote. If it were up to me, I would encourage Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to amend the spending bill that was sent over by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to include border wall funding, and then vote on it every single day.
Without Democratic votes, the measure will fail to get the required 60 votes to proceed – and it will fail over and over again. Keep voting. Lawmakers will be forced to go on the record – day after day – demonstrating conclusively who really supports border security and who is just giving lip service to the idea.
