An official with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned Wednesday that the failure of the recent Senate border bill would reduce operations on the border due to a lack of funding.
The border bill that Republican lawmakers opposed last week would have provided $6 billion in supplemental funding to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an arm of the DHS. GOP lawmakers warned that the bill would lead to mass immigration, would likely tie the hands of a future president in enacting more border controls, and was unnecessarily tied to funding to Ukraine and other countries.
