Republicans use the border to justify shutting down the governme

Avalon - Republicans use the border to justify shutting down the government, which is odd because border patrol relies on federal funding and President Biden has been requesting additional funds for the border due to the surge of migrants at the border. Republicans have refused to fund that request and now are threatening to shut down the government, which means the border agents will be unfunded all together.
Another way of saying that is House Republicans are defunding the police at the borders and defunding the military.
