Mr. President, Veto the Open Borders Bill
Congress is expected shortly to approve legislation that would, ostensibly, end the impasse over border security and avoid a further, partial government shutdown. President Trump has yet to say publicly whether he’ll sign it.
The specific temptation for Mr. Trump is the claim that he’ll get money for 55 miles of border fencing, said to be a down-payment for more in the years ahead. He also expects to be able to move funds from other accounts and order further barrier construction without specific congressional permission.
Unfortunately, these options are likely to be effectively foreclosed by language Open Borders lawmakers have sneaked into the 1,000-page spending bill. Press reports indicate that it will enable state and even local officials to veto construction of any further border barriers.
The President must veto any such legislation and use his authority to secure the border.
