Republican Study Committee Makes Push to Include H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, a Part of Debt Limit Negotiations

The Republican Study Committee (RSC) led by Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma) has taken possibly the most effective approach to achieving Border Security this congressional session by tying debt negotiations to Border Security.

While HR 2 may have passed the House last week, it may not see a vote in the Senate due to the chamber’s partisan balance. However, if it is included in any sort of debt ceiling legislation as it’s passed out of the House, then the Senate will be forced to vote on it. 

This is a win for Texans and Americans.

You can read the RSC’s full letter to President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy here: 

Listen:

1. We are barreling toward a debt limit crisis. Our deadline is June 1, says Yellen.

2. Our border is already in crisis. After Title 42 ended on May 11, we saw a WAVE of immigration.

These two crises are linked, and should be considered together during negotiations. pic.twitter.com/LVxwTrOJi9
