Republicans demand border fight to preserve majority, threaten speaker's position

March deadline allows for demands on border security.

In a recent interview, Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz expressed his concerns regarding the passing of a continuing resolution to fund the government and avoid a partial shutdown. Gaetz questioned the effectiveness of linking an amendment about duck hunting to the funding bill, stating that it does not seem like an appropriate approach to funding the government or addressing the issue of duck hunting.

Gaetz mentioned that he believes more courage is needed within the House Republican Conference in order to advocate for spending cuts and border security. He emphasized the need to address the border issue, particularly in light of the open borders resulting in the release of migrants into the interior of the country, which he considers a drain on the system.
