According to the constitution, if the federal government fails to protect the border, states have a right to protect their border.

[pattiballone]

I am ashamed of everyone of them that voted Nay!!! They should be removed from office immediately.

[jeffburger]

The fact that ANYONE voted against protecting our border, is all you need to know about their intention for America's citizens.

[screwthecrewofpoliticians]

I would be ashamed of myself if I was a democrat. Why, would a person vote to destroy their own freedom. It's like cutting throat.

[jenndesharnais]

Why anyone votes against border security for there own country is the dumbest thing I've ever heard!

[MitchellTickle]

Way to go Republicans !
Congratulations !
Thank you !

[MustangGuru]

Now who was the RINOs that voted NAY. We need them out of office.

[fresyo]

Remember in 2024, not one single democrat voted to protect our border

[Sarge]

When will we stop treating politicians like celebrities, and start treating them as the employees we hired??🤔🤨

[kingjackupeace]

When the House and the Senate can't find any common ground, on anything, that's not victory. That's not a victory, at all. Putting the American people aside is an absolute disgrace.

[lockeslylefey]

213 people pleaded guilty to treason today.

[beckymadrid]

We need to know who voted NO and hold them accountable for the chaos now and in the future

[barbarab]

Thankyou, Republicans for standing up for American safety,

[rushhourredrock]

How can the House or Senate get things done when they act they belong to a fraternity/sorority group. You people are elected officials, do what is right for our country!!!

[copperkazi]

The american citizens WILL take care of ourselves and our country, when our own government won't. Despicable politicians. What in the hell are they thinking? Not about us.

[tonyromano]

I'd love to know which Republicans voted "Nay".

[mellebrown]

What should really concern the citizens, is that all Democrats, and 2 republicans voted against the Bill. A country without borders is NOT a country just a dumping ground for other countries WITH borders.

[wvrockcrusher]

The fact that not one single Dem voted for border security tells the whole story. Remember this from now until the end of next year. Disgusting.

[erniebaptista]

SECURE OUR BOARDS FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FREEDOM AND FAMILIES !!!

[Ms.Norths.Musings]

The border states should send out the national guards from their states at this point. 6 million people in 2 years. If this continues it will be 12 million in 4 years. Not to mention the millions already here. Taxpayers pay for ALL of them. This is insane.
