Time is Working Out… On the Border
“The clock is now ticking till authorities funding runs out this Friday,” Schumer has warned. “Between now and the top of the week, the Home should rapidly go and ship the Senate this bipartisan bundle.”
However what about America’s chaotic southern border? The clock’s been ticking there for a very long time. Too lengthy.
Apparently, nobody is fearful about that obvious downside besides a minority of conservative Republicans.
Particularly Sen. Mike Lee.
