Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. Mike Lee, are expressing strong opposition to the proposed government funding plan which includes a continuing resolution (CR) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without any policy reforms, particularly in relation to border security. The criticism comes amid concerns over the impact of DHS's current policies on border security and immigration, with some Republicans arguing that the plan would effectively endorse President Biden's border management strategies without addressing the issues they see as critical, such as MASS RELEASING illegal aliens and keeping Texas under siege from its open border policies. The debate highlights a significant divide between Democratic and GOP leaders over how to fund Homeland Security for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024 (FY2024), as reported by Punchbowl News. Conservatives, including voices from the Daily Caller, have labeled the GOP's plan to maintain current DHS funding levels without policy changes as a 'complete failure' in addressing border security concerns, criticizing it for surrendering what leverage Republicans have to force Biden to secure the border.
‘A Complete Failure’: Conservatives Chafe At GOP Plan To Lock In Homeland Security Spending With No Border Changes https://t.co/kdMPQIfcuN
How many have to die before Congress holds Biden accountable? Congress shouldn’t fund Biden’s priorities until he makes border enforcement one of them. Secure the border. Or shut it down. https://t.co/LUDkR9eyFT
Update: Punchbowl is reporting that it’d be a CR funding DHS at current levels through the end of FY2024. Republicans in Congress: don’t do this. It’d be surrendering what leverage we have this year to force Biden to secure the border. Secure the border. Or shut it down. https://t.co/pIk3w8hpau
If it’s a very short-term DHS continuing resolution, it could help us gain leverage on border security. But if it’s a CR to fund DHS at current levels through the end of FY2024, a DHS CR would solidify Biden’s border-security disaster. Secure the border. Or shut it down. https://t.co/1kCuDIwsQi

We CAN NOT continue to fund a DHS that keeps Texas under siege from its open border policies Texans have been bearing the brunt enough for too long – it’s time we deliver them a secure border and pay the state back what Biden owes us for doing his job for him https://t.co/76alPx7fty
Congress: we are FUNDING a DHS that is MASS RELEASING illegal aliens into our communities, some of whom commit horrific crimes. Republicans MUST NOT vote to keep funding Mayorkas' DHS at the same level with zero policy changes next week. We have the power to stop this. https://t.co/Z5Zp24SkYq
Why is the @HouseGOP going to push the 2nd half of the cap-busting mega-Omnibus government funding bill next week with DHS funded with a “continuing resolution” - and no policy reforms - while radical progressive democrats force this horror on Americans? #NoSecurityNoFunding https://t.co/KjUZ6pKvvX
