Just a quick update from last week's posts about the border...

Last Thursday, the Democrat-controlled House ended up passing the Senate's version of legislation that will send $4.6 billion in humanitarian relief to the border. With record levels of illegals crossing into our country, our Border Patrol and Health & Human Services have been completely overwhelmed, and are quickly running out of money. So this funding was desperately-needed, and was the right thing to do.

But it's important to understand this is just temporary band-aid. We still have a system that encourages and incentivizes people to come here illegally, knowing they're likely to be released into our country if caught. We have asylum laws that are flat-out broken. THESE are the underlying issues that must be addressed in Congress.
