DeSantis, Massie: Congress has constitutional requirement to stop funding border crisis

U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie R-Kentucky and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis argue Congress has a constitutional duty to stop funding Biden administration policies that they and others argue created the border crisis.

President Joe Biden has not only demanded that Texas remove its border barriers but has also called on Congress to allocate $13.6 billion to fund "Border enforcement and migration management." This includes hiring more judges and asylum staffers "To expedite the screening process" to release more people into the U.S., White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt said.

Kinney County, a small Texas border community, was the first Texas county to declare an invasion.

Three years into the border crisis, 51 Texas counties have declared an invasion; nearly 100 have either issued disaster or invasion declarations, or both, citing the border crisis.

Our homeland is more vulnerable today to a terrorist attack because of the ongoing border crisis.

" Retired FBI directors and national security experts agree, sending a letter to congressional leaders this week warning that the "invasion at the border is perilous for America.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, has said the House will not support a funding bill that does not prioritize securing the U.S. borders.
