Why do they mean open? as far as I know you have to show a valid US visa to enter through any of the gates, the illegals are either entering legally and just staying or entering through the wilderness, so some people just don't want anyone coming in from mexico? visa or not? thats just dumb.
The Debt Ceiling! usdebtclock.org! We HAVE to cut spending! Small government! TEA PARTY!!! You couldn't tell it today but remember when this was the end all be all??? Not the border/immigrants??? Multiple Government shutdowns averted yet somehow two presidents later and an even deeper debt it's no longer an issue

Fox News Blasts Republicans for Killing 'Strongest' Border Bill
Published Feb 15, 2024 at 5:40 AM ESTUpdated Feb 15, 2024 at 5:42 AM ESTHouse Votes To Impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
The Chief Political Analyst at Fox News has criticized hardline Republicans for killing a border bill negotiated in the Senate.
"I think these are a couple of issues that put Republicans in peril of looking like literally a do-nothing Congress," Brit Hume told the station on Wednesday, referring to the border security bill shot down by the House and the potential rejection of funding for Ukraine.
The Context
The GOP-led House struck down the $118 billion bill in the Senate on February 7, with conservative hardliners arguing the legislation does not go far enough in its efforts to end illegal immigration.
A bill of around $95.3 billion in Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan was approved in a vote in the Senate on Tuesday, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has said it won't make it to the House floor.
The package includes $9.15 billion in humanitarian aid to give to conflict zones like Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine.
Hume argued Republicans were "in danger of losing the advantage they have vis à vis Biden on the issue of the border and on the issue of Ukraine funding, Israel funding, funding to defend Taiwan because they are refusing to act on these measures that would deal with that..."
Newsweek has approached Speaker Johnson's office for comment via an email outside of working hours.
Views
In a statement on Monday, Johnson said: "[In] the absence of having received any single border policy change from the Senate, the House will have to continue to work its own will on these important matters."

The following day, President Joe Biden urged Johnson to bring the bill to the House so it could be passed. "I call on the speaker to let the full House speak its mind and not allow a minority of the most extreme voices in the House to block this bill even from being voted on," the president said.
"This bipartisan bill sends a clear message to Ukrainians and to our partners and to our allies around the world—America can be trusted, America can be relied upon and America stands up for freedom," Biden continued. "We stand strong for our allies, we never bow down to anyone, and certainly not to Vladimir Putin."
What's Next?
Johnson and Republican hardliners have demanded the foreign aid package include funding for border security. They rejected the $118 billion aid package, including $20 billion for securing the U.S.-Mexico border, brought by a group of Senate Republicans and Democrats last week.

think they're using it as leverage to win the election... let's not act like the dems didn't use George Floyd and BLM, the vaccine being released a day or two after the election to secure their win of the election.

Two facts about the Lankford-Murphy-Sinema border bill that Republicans voted down:
—It had none of the legalization or DACA provisions that Democrats had demanded until then.
—It was championed by the border patrol agents' union, which endorsed Trump in 2016 and 2020.
