A significant faction of House Republicans, led by Representatives Bob Good and Chip Roy, is intensifying pressure on their colleagues and the GOP leadership to reject any government spending bill that does not include substantial border security measures, a rollback of certain Biden administration policies including diversity and climate policies, ahead of Friday's shutdown deadline. This push comes as Mike Johnson faces pressure from House Republicans wanting to reject a spending bill that doesn't meet these demands. The group, including members of the Freedom Caucus, is leveraging the upcoming vote on a spending bill required to keep the federal government operational past Friday, with the rallying cry '#NoSecurityNoFunding'. They argue that funding the government without these stipulations would effectively endorse President Biden's border policies, which they describe as promoting 'open borders' and contributing to a national crisis. The Secure the Border Act, passed by the House 314 days ago but stalled in the Senate, is cited as a key piece of legislation that addresses these concerns. However, the act has been blocked by Senate Democrats, with the Biden administration also facing criticism for not taking unilateral action to secure the border. The situation is creating a potential impasse, with some Republicans, including Senator Mike Lee and Representative Chip Roy, openly stating they will vote against any spending bill that does not meet their demands, raising the specter of a government shutdown.

At some point, border security has to be more than a talking point or a campaign promise. What are House Republicans prepared to do? When will we say “not on our watch” and back up those words with action? Stop funding the invasion! https://t.co/OrWj44UECk
What will it take to secure our southern border? 313 days ago we sent responsible border legislation to the Senate. Yet this week - the House will consider a bill directly funding the disastrous open border policies that H.R. 2 would have ended. We must stand against this… https://t.co/1rkqb4ggXV

I am pleased to be a member of the Democrats for Border Security Task Force. Democrats are serious about addressing border security and our broken immigration system while House Republicans refuse to even call a vote on bipartisan solutions.
