Dead on Arrival! The Commission will dilute it beyond recognition in the process.
German Brave translated:
"The European Parliament (EP), together with the Council of the European Union, is the EU’s primary legislative body. Since the Treaty of Lisbon, both institutions have had equal authority in the legislative process and must agree on a draft for an EU law to be adopted.
The ordinary legislative procedure
This procedure, also known as the codecision procedure, applies to the vast majority of policy areas (85 areas in total). The process usually follows these steps:
Initiative: The European Commission submits a legislative proposal (the Commission has the sole right of initiative, although the EP, the Council, or citizens’ initiatives may call for one).
First reading: The EP and the Council review the proposal. The EP may propose amendments.
Second reading: If the Council and the EP cannot reach an agreement, the EP may reject the draft by an absolute majority or propose further amendments.
Conciliation Committee: In the event of a deadlock, a committee composed of equal numbers of MEPs and Council ministers is convened to draft a joint text.
Third reading: The joint text must be re-approved by both institutions for the law to enter into force.
Trilogue negotiations: In practice, the process is often expedited through informal negotiations between the Commission, the EP, and the Council at all stages."
I agree, but it’s just a gesture—it has no real power. EU regulations are generally directly applicable law in the member states. In Germany, almost everything is waved through by the Bundestag without scrutiny or debate. If it ever really comes to the point where an EU regulation doesn’t suit those in power in the member states, they will very quickly remind themselves of their national legislative authority.
Real change can ONLY come from the people in the member states
Yes. The PEOPLE. The people will be emboldened and motivated into action by such optics imo. Moreso than if the vote went the other way and the parliament was silent. Wouldn't you agree?

Oh well.
At least 2/3 of the EU parliament were chanting "Send Them Back'.
It's a start. I do like the optics.
