President Biden and his administration are asking Congress for $3.3 billion dollars to fund new travel and housing programs for more economic migrants. According to Breitbart News, “the August 10 request for funding “is not all designed to promote more illegal immigration, but most of it seems to be,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, adding:
Which is why there’s resistance among a lot of Republicans to increased funding for [the department of] Homeland Security (DHS). If DHS was using the money to actually stop the flow of illegal aliens, Republicans will be falling all over themselves to vote for it. But that’s not what this administration wants to with the do extra money for DHS — they want to use it to speed up the arrival of people who have no right to be here.
The “border guard is turned into a Walmart greeter,” he said.
Roy and 14 other House GOP members are pushing to block the funding.
“Simply put, no member of Congress should agree to fund a federal agency at war with his state and people. We have a moral obligation to protect our states, our nation, and, importantly, the migrant children getting abused from the disaster transpiring at our southern border,” the lawmakers said in a letter.
“No border security, no funding,” the letter added.
Roy shared the story on Twitter, saying “Simply put, no member of Congress should agree to fund a federal agency at war with his state and people.”
