Chip Roy says border will shift from Biden's crisis to GOP's if McConnell passes spending bill
Fox News
Rep. Chip Roy warned that the GOP will take ownership of the border crisis if they agree to an onmibus bill that gives DHS billions to continue failed policies.
"We’ve been running on this being the Biden border crisis," Roy told host Shannon Bream. "This the McConnell-Republican border crisis if we give them more money this week without demanding that they secure the border, and do more bloated spending and giving DHS money with a blank check." Ronn Blitzer is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics and breaking news.
As part of the omnibus bill that lawmakers from both parties are hoping will fund the government going forward and avoid a shutdown, the Biden administration is requesting a $3.5 billion increase from last year for managing border. The overall cost of the omnibus is expected to be roughly $1.65 trillion.
