Lawmakers Urged to Sweeten Border Security Deal for Aid Bill Passage

Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican, acknowledges the challenges of getting a border deal involving Ukraine aid and border security funding through the House, stating that the deal needs to be "sweetened." He suggests designating cartels as terrorist organizations and holding smugglers accountable as potential measures to garner support. While the Senate and White House may have a different approach, Gonzales emphasizes the need to find 218 votes in the House and push the deal forward. The House has not set a timeline for passing a bill if the Senate reaches a deal. Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova urges progress in Congress to secure additional aid for Ukraine before the end of the year.

Border Madness: Rep. Gonzales Condemns Tactics, DOJ Threatens Texas, and Abbott's Razor Wire Tears into Migrants

Rep. Tony Gonzales, who represents 800 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, called the tactics used to deter illegal migration "not acceptable," but did not criticize Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Gonzales acknowledged the dangers faced by migrants, including the risk of drowning and serious injury, but emphasized the need for Congress to offer solutions. He introduced the HIRE Act to facilitate temporary work visas for migrants and expressed a preference for addressing legal pathways rather than focusing on illegal entry. The Biden administration has threatened to sue Texas over the barriers implemented by Abbott, citing violations of federal law and risks to public safety and the environment.
