Ok Mr Speaker, why are you, led by Trump, not addressing the border issues and bringing to the floor the bipartisan border deal for a debate, edit, and vote? Why do you refuse to give this administration the legislative authority to close the borders? Why do you refuse to give this administration the necessary additional funding to address this massive increase in migrants coming to the border?
