The House can take the bill amend it vote on it and send it back to the Senate and they will have a conference committee to hammer out a final bill both Houses can then vote on.

I find the process of "shutting down" the border in the bill to be the stupidest thing I've read in a long time. The money for barriers, agents, and judges is fine as long as the CBP agents can actually do their jobs instead of being a taxi service.

CBP agents don't seem to upset about Texas. They seem more upset about the actual issues at the border and with the Biden administration. The enforcement/shut down portion is just dumb.

CBP agents swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution. I suspect them saying they won't arrest Texas BP is hot air.

So it turns out Johnson is not acting in good faith. Just another Trump puppet.

i saw a report that Katie Britt has come out against this bill. I could not be any more disappointed by a politician representing me than I am with her. Her centrist posturing was all bs.

My discussion with her office later today will revolve around her backstabbing Langford on behalf of someone like Trump. Not to mention abandoning our allies when they need us most.

Maybe they will all turn into pillars of salt, it would serve them right. They were warned not to look to Trump for direction. But they turned and looked at him anyway.

Only in 2024 would $100 billion in foreign aid tied to a bill be 'nothing'.

LOL, no wonder this country is in so much debt...

But yeah, we should definitely throw out the baby with the bathwater. 🤣

Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families being put up in Big Apple hotels, The Post has learned.

The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city records.

The amount on each card will vary depending on the size of the family and whether any income is coming in, according to the details of the contract. A family of four, for instance, could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which comes out to $35 per day for food. Cards will get refilled every 28 days.

News of the pre-paid card program comes a day after The Post revealed another $137 million in contracts with city hotels to provide more than 750 rooms to asylum seekers with families.

The city is housing just over 66,000 asylum seekers after 1,500 more arrived last week as part of a crisis that is expected to cost $10 billion through 2025.
Who gets to decide who is an asylum seeker?
How can an asylum seeker pass through numerous countries to arrive at the US? Seems like they may have an alternative agenda if they pass up asylum in the other countries.

At this point basically everyone crossing the border is asking for asylum because they've been informed of our laws are being 'enforced'.

What is everyones opinion on this new immigration/foreign aid bill? Republicans seem to have gotten much of what they wanted. Trump doesn't like it because he doesn't want Biden, who is comprising, to have a win so the gutless Rs are now opposing it. For me, its certainly less than perfect but its a step in the right direction and should be passed.

In my opinion we should tax the rich and use the money to defend our country and national interests. We can’t afford to let Putin disrupt Europe any more than he already has.

I mean, that's a fine short-term solution, but you can tax the rich at 100% and you're not going to cover one year of our current spending. We have to figure out what's important and shift funds (in addition to revamping the tax code) accordingly.

Without SOME effort to balance the budget there will always be 'emergencies' and 'dangers' that require massive spending, so they'll just increase taxation and continue to increase our debt.

I'd rather not continue to be part of the problem the boomers have saddled us with.
