Rep. Gimenez says migrants should say 'gracias' to Gaetz amid fears House drama hurts border security push
Fox News
Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., says migrants should be saying thank you to Rep. Matt Gaetz for what Gimenez says is a torpedoing of border security efforts in the House.
Gaetz and other conservative Republicans had previously voted against a temporary stopgap funding resolution that would have funded the government while including most of the House’s signature border security package — except E-Verify. The continuing resolution that passed did not include those provisions. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
"Matt Gaetz and his gang effectively blocked a measure for the funding resolution that would have forced the Biden administration to actively control the border and to have a reduction in overall spending," Gimenez told Fox News Digital. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
