Omnibus

Despite the bloated size of this bill and ridiculously short time frame in which the Senate has to consider it, the omnibus does effectively nothing to combat the growing crisis at the Southern Border. In fact, portions of it forbid federal agencies from doing so. Of the additional $400 million given to the Border Patrol, the text requires that none of the funds be used “to acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities, except for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol processing.” This means that the entirety of the new Border Patrol funding must be used to help process illegal aliens and, in most cases, usher them into the United States. This is more evidence that Biden wants these illegals to come into the country.
