Border Security Showdown: Lawmakers and Constituents Demand Action

Rep. Chip Roy's constituents are urging lawmakers to shut down the government if there is no deal on border security, with Roy suggesting that conservative lawmakers withhold funding to force the Biden administration to address GOP's border demands. Roy emphasized Texas' efforts to defend itself at the border and expressed the need for change before funding the government. Some conservative lawmakers have threatened to shut down the government over the border, circulating a letter urging lawmakers to hold up government funding until Democrats and the White House agree to border security and asylum reforms.
