A group of Republican lawmakers, including Senators Mike Lee and Representatives Chip Roy, Bob Good, and others, have publicly announced their opposition to a spending bill that is crucial for keeping the Federal Government funded past Friday. This opposition is part of a broader effort led by Reps. Good and Roy, who have circulated a 'Dear Colleague' letter urging their fellow lawmakers to vote against the upcoming appropriations package. The group criticizes the bill for not addressing what they describe as President Joe Biden's 'disastrous open borders' policies. The House Freedom Caucus, with Chairman Rep. Bob Good and Rep. Chip Roy, has rallied 41 Republicans to challenge the House GOP leadership to leverage the government funding bill to alter these immigration policies. The deadline for passing the bill is rapidly approaching, with a government shutdown looming at midnight on Friday.
It’s simple: NO House Republican should vote to fund the Biden Administration’s disastrous policies that are destroying our nation. https://t.co/IPYRaPEK72
It’s far past time House Republicans used the power of the purse to stop the invasion and defund the Biden Regime’s open border policies. https://t.co/0AWPWoGqgT
