Here Are The 41 Republicans Who Voted Against Securing The U.S. Border |
2018-06-23 |
[Daily Caller] Forty-one House Republicans voted against a bill Friday that would have secured funding for President Donald Trump’s border wall, addressed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and included E-verify, among other conservative provisions. Members voted on an amended version of GOP Reps. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and Michael McCaul of Texas’s bill that provided more border security funding, only granted DACA recipients a temporary protected three-year legal status with no pathway for citizenship ‐ which moderate Republicans are fervently asking leadership to provide ‐ and included other features.

#3 Some of the members who voted against the bill did so because leadership altered the bill before the final vote, adding on amendments and provisions they deemed “amnesty.” Amnesty and add-ons, the bill-killer issues? Would the original Goodlatte bill have been passed? We don't know. |

#2 Barbara Comstock is my worthless representative; the irony is that leftist routinely protest her office on Route 7 stating she is a rightwing conservative. |

#1 Some of the members who voted against the bill did so because leadership altered the bill before the final vote, adding on amendments and provisions they deemed "amnesty." The bigger half of the problem. |
