Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce the Emergency Border Control Resolution to kick-start the resolution process. As we stand here today, negotiations have stalled in the House. We all know this. We are at a crossroads in this reconciliation process, and it is time for the House and Senate to quickly pass a border funding bill with a debt ceiling increase so President Trump can deliver on his promises to the American people and reassure the financial markets. The legislation I just introduced is a budget that contains $200 billion in new funding for President Trump to secure our southern border, fund immigration enforcement, and rebuild America's defenses. This increased spending is paired with $486 billion in cuts to Biden's failed and wasteful spending. These cuts will result in a $286 billion real deficit reduction over 10 years. The Emergency Border Control Resolution is the first step in the Freedom Caucus' 218 strategy to successfully implement the President's America First agenda. ____________________

I think most people would agree that the southern border disaster is a man-made disaster made by the person in the White House.
