Congress continues to allocate billions of dollars of taxpayer money to fund services for illegal border crossers living in U.S. cities.

House Speaker Mike Johnson , R-Louisiana, said in January that “any bill that does not secure the border is not acceptable” House Republicans impeached Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas arguing he was derelict in his duty.

Massie said in January that “in March , when funding expires, we can put a rider in the next bill that says none of the money hereby appropriated can be used to countermand border security measures of the states.” This didn’t happen. The majority of Republicans voted to keep spending taxpayer money on these programs. By July , a U.S. House Judiciary Committee report highlighted examples of how Congress was still funding the border crisis..
