The border won't be secured this year, after House Speaker Mike Johnson proposed a deal that breaks border security off from the little leverage Republicans had, leaving it to drift into the void.
Oh, and the Rules Committee, Johnson said in his Wednesday statement, will "Also be posting text on a border security bill that includes the core components of HR 2, under a separate rule that will allow for amendments."
The problem is that Democrats don't want to pass border security.
We were told border security was the number-one priority for the new speaker.
In a White House Situation Room meeting with administration officials, for example, Johnson presented "Two essential prerequisites: security at our border, and critical answers regarding the funds requested."
Border security as a prerequisite for aid to foreign countries was among the speaker's first promises and was repeated throughout his first few months in office.
Border security is also among the Republican Party's top pledges, repeated by candidates and politicians from the Rio Grande to Montana.
