Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy offered former President Barack Obama’s border supplement on Monday evening as an amendment to the Democrat-backed border supplemental appropriations bill.
“I am asking you to consider an amendment that reflects the language that President Obama sent of $762.8 million to fund [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] so they can do their job, provide beds, so we can drop the pressure valve down and ensure that Border Patrol can do its job, ICE can do its job,” Roy said while speaking to the House Committee on Rules.
