In May, House Republicans passed the Secure the Border Act (HR 2), described as the strongest border security bill in recent history. Despite its passage, the bill has been stalled in the Senate, sitting on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's desk and 'collecting dust' for nearly a year. This has led to criticism from Republican lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, who introduced the bill in the Senate and secured 31 co-sponsors. They accuse Democrats, particularly Schumer (@SenSchumer), of being solely responsible for the ongoing border crisis, described as a 'deadly invasion on US soil.' Schumer, however, has countered these claims, accusing Cruz and other Republicans of wanting to do nothing on the border, as highlighted in a report by @axios. Cruz's efforts to push for a Senate vote on HR 2 (#PassHR2) continue amid this standoff.
Border security is national security. Last May, @HouseGOP passed the strongest border security bill in the modern era. It's time for POTUS to reverse his failed open border policies & enforce the immigration laws currently on the books. It's time for the Senate to pass #HR2 https://t.co/rF5KSm4D5j
Schumer hit back at Cruz's comments, saying Cruz 'is the one who wants to do nothing on the border' by voting against the bipartisan border deal." Cruz introduced Secure the Border Act in the Senate, already passed by House. @axios #PassHR2 https://t.co/uhUaq28rtp

.@SenTedCruz introduced the Secure the Border Act, which was passed by the House. It has 31 co-sponsors in the Senate. Why do you refuse to allow a vote on the bill, @SenSchumer? https://t.co/hCn4sclbJr
House Republicans passed the Secure the Border Act (HR 2) last May. It’s been sitting on Chuck Schumer’s desk collecting dust for almost a year. The border crisis is all on the Democrats. They’re solely responsible for it.
House Republicans passed #HR2, the strongest border security bill in history, but the Senate refuses to act. Biden could END the border crisis TODAY, but he won't. I will continue to fight every step of the way to protect our communities from this deadly invasion on US soil.
