Will House Republicans Do Anything About the Border?
 
Allan Wall
Sep 6, 2023
 
 
In a previous column, I suggested what the U.S. House of Representatives, under Republican control, could do to deal with the border crisis.

The House is scheduled be back in session on September 12. Will the Republicans actually do anything about the border ?

Scott McFarlane of CBS reported this week that some noise is being made about this topic.

If some sort of spending bill, such as a continuing resolution, is not passed by October 1, there could be a partial government shutdown. And so, writes McFarlane, “Twenty-six days before the deadline to avert an impasse that threatens government operations and a jolt to the U.S. economy, an expanded southern border wall appears to be a towering obstacle. Even before it is built.”

Here’s what is possibly on the table:

The House has held the majority.  So what's the hold-up???  Most are RINO's including the leadership!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ted Cruz; who numerous times tried to get Trump to build the wall and Trump waited till just before the new House majority was seated and we all know how that turned out.
