House Republicans Need to Go Scorched Earth on the Border Crisis
Border Hawk Blog ^ | August 15, 2023 | Allan Wall

Posted on 08/16/2023 6:12:53 AM PDT by River Hawk

The Biden administration is managing an illegal invasion of the United States, bringing in millions of unvetted foreigners in order to transform the country.

Is there anything the House of Representatives can do to improve the border situation?

What about Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy? What could he do about the border? Why doesn’t McCarthy put the border on the front burner and confront the administration?

If he were really serious about the border, Speaker McCarthy could announce that no bills will be passed until the Biden Border Rush is ended.

No budgets. No continuing resolutions. No appointments. No aid for Ukraine. No proclamations for things like National Mustard Day. Nothing.

This would, at least, get their attention.

The fiscal year ends on September 30. Couldn’t that be used as leverage to pressure the administration on the border?

Why can’t the border be the big issue for budget negotiations?

Why isn’t McCarthy taking the lead on this issue?

How about your congressional representative? What is he or she doing about the border?

The House needs to get serious about the border.

Long overdue on the border and other topics. Republicans control the House, therefore control the purse. Lost opportunity to not use it. But, alas, these folks have a different inside-the-beltway agenda that they and all of us do outside-the-beltway.

Republicans need to go scorched earth period. They need to understand that the DemonRats are the enemy of the United States.

Repugnants need to do a lot of things. We (their constituents) have needed them to do a lot of things for a long time.

But our elected Repugnant reps are nothing but whores and pimps for their globalist masters and have adopted the philosophy of "go along to get along."

They're useless and we cannot count on them to do the right things. Ever.

Nobody should ever expect the GOP to do the right thing at any time. They are worthless cowards that bow to the democrats and ignore the voters.

The publcans in Congress don’t have the balls. It might interrupt their parties and special deals they and their families get if they did something other than talk. We need some youthful fire eaters not Frozen Mitch leading the battle. If our leaders and demonrats leaders are demented 80+ year olds then not much passion from them.

If somebody doesn’t do something to turn of this flood, America is going under. There isn’t enough American taxpayers to support the whole friggin’ world’s population. America’s “carbon footprint” has already gone to hell because of the greedy DemonRATS who just can’t get enough “banana boater voters.”

Republicans ran last year on securing the border and then dead silence ever since. They lied.

Why doesn’t McCarthy go straight to the USSC? Congress writes the laws concerning immigration, the President is breaking the written law in front of God and everybody else. He needs to be smacked down. It is the DUTY of Congress to hold the line on their purview.

The commie dems tear this country up whether they are the minority or majority. Republicans apparently have an unexplainable or unknown reason to act inept and are incapable of much beyond the bare minimum that they were elected to do. Trump has shown the way to lead and govern and his supporters are used to far better than what our elected body in the House is doing. The open border outrage continues unabated.These illegals are being brought in for a reason that serves the purpose of the commie dem traitors. When are American military troops, such as those now in the Ukraine guarding their borders, going to be sent to our American borders? Is Treason the Reason? The Constitution calls for REPELLING invasions. Section 8, Article 15.

Pubbies will always do the right thing as long as the right thing can’t possibly jeopardize their reelection.
