Voted to shut down the government instead of securing the border.
Motioned to adjourn until after a shutdown.

Literally pulled the fire alarm.

Here’s the point: It’s not House Republicans who are blocking efforts to secure the border, protect families, tackle the crime crisis, and rein in inflation – Republicans have passed legislation to do all that. It’s Joe Biden and Democrats who are not only obstructing, but also doubling down on their destructive agenda.
