Lawmakers meet to prevent shutdown, discuss aid to Ukraine, border issues

Lawmakers meet with Biden to prevent government shutdown.

Lawmakers from both parties are scheduled to meet with President Biden to discuss preventing a partial government shutdown, set to occur in three days. The President is expected to emphasize the urgent need to pass aid to Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion. Republican Senator John Cornyn recently advised House Republicans to consider a compromise bill, stating that they should either accept half a loaf or get nothing at all.

When asked about his stance, a Congressman made it clear that he would not support any compromise bill that deviated from House Resolution 2 on immigration. He expressed concerns about the security implications of ongoing border issues, decrying the inhumane treatment of migrants and the potential risk of terrorists crossing the border. The Congressman emphasized the importance of securing the border, including completing the border wall and involving the military if necessary.
