Republicans Demand Border Policy Changes as Part of Foreign Aid Package | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The federal government is inching closer to a partial government shutdown next Friday and tensions are rising. Lawmakers are still at odds over how to keep the government open and Republicans continue to demand border policy changes be a part of any foreign aid package. The Senate has taken the first steps to pass another continuing resolution, in the likely case the dozen government funding bills can't be passed by next Friday. Republicans say this rush to get it done is what Democrats want. Senator Roger Marshall says, "This is exactly the way Joe Biden functions, and Chuck Schumer functions year after year. They want this last second chaos where they can control where the money's going. I don't know what's going to happen, but I think we'll figure out something to keep the government open. I'm not sure I can vote for that." Democratic Senator John Fetterman says he can't understand why Congress can't do its business on time.
