(ABC 6 News) – Representative Brad Finstad says the new bipartisan border bill isn’t what Republicans or Democrats want.

“Looking at this with some intellectual depth, you can see there’s bipartisan support and bipartisan opposition, so that tells me we’re not quite there yet.”

But Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar takes a different position. In a statement she wrote:
