The House Passed a Sweeping Border Bill to Stop ‘Invasion’ on May 11th, 2023. Where does it stand today?
Breitbart’s Ashley Oliver on May 11, 2023 published the following,
The House passed a comprehensive border package Thursday, the same day the Biden administration strips border officials of one of the last tools to stem waves of illegal migration.
The vote for H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, passed 219 to 213 with no Democrat support. Two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and John Duarte (R-CA), defected.
“This bill secures the border from President Biden’s record crossings, record carelessness, and record chaos,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said at a press conference after the bill’s passage.
The legislation comes as the already overwhelmed southern border experiences heightened levels of disorder because of the looming end to Title 42, a Trump-era policy border officials relied on to quickly expel illegal migrants in the name of coronavirus.
The policy is expiring when the declared national public health emergency expires Thursday night.
“It’s going to be chaotic for a while,” Biden admitted in a press conference Tuesday, claiming the administration was doing all they could to address what is expected to be a rush of hundreds of thousands migrants who have been waiting in Mexico.
Field reports from agents across the southern border verify the enormity of this tidal wave of illegal aliens coming now. Huge groups are overwhelming stations and it is completely out of control. Massive releases beginning and it's going to get much worse.
Thanks Biden.

GovTrack.us reports this about the status of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023:
Bills and resolutions are referred to committees which debate the bill before possibly sending it on to the whole chamber.
Updated bill text was published as of Preprint (Rule).
The bill was passed in a vote in the House. It goes to the Senate next.
So H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023 died in the Democrat controlled Senate.
What does this tell you? Who wants to protect our sovereignty? The party of the traitors or the party of the patriots?
Choose wisely who you put into office during the presidential election of 2024.
