Congressional leaders are facing pressure to address border security issues as funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is being debated. Calls for policy changes to secure the border and combat illegal activities, such as drug trafficking and human smuggling, are intensifying. Bipartisan efforts are urged to pass legislation like H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, to address the border crisis and enhance national security.
Congress is set to abandon H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, AGAIN! Instead of passing policy changes that are needed, they are moving forward with funding Biden’s Border Crisis through the end of the fiscal year. Another squandered opportunity to protect America.
The $1.2 trillion, 1,000 page swamp-bus pt. 2 SURRENDERS critical policies included in the @HouseGOP funding bills. This is an anti-Texas bill — funneling more funding to DHS with ZERO border security policy changes. #VoteNo #NoSecurityNoFunding https://t.co/nCSOc1V8e8
🚨🚨Today, congressional leaders announced a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security for the remainder of the year. It leaves Biden’s disastrous border policies in place that Republicans pledged to end. This deal falls far short of what America needs right now.🚨🚨
