213 House Democrats Vote Against Securing the Border Hours Before Title 42 Expires

[Townhall] With fewer than eight hours remaining before the expiration of Title 42, the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 2, the "Secure the Border Act," by a vote of 219 to 213 — another significant legislative win for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

All Democrats voted against the legislation, as did two House Republicans: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and John Duarte (R-CA).

That is, 213 Democrats just voted against a bill Republicans crafted to:

Require President Biden and his administration to restart border wall construction

Begin using new technology at our southern and northern borders

Provide funding to hire more Border Patrol agents and pay bonuses

Increase DHS transparency so Americans know how many illegal immigrants are unlawfully entering their country
make existing laws stronger to protect unaccompanied children (UAC) from trafficking and abuse

Discontinue "catch and release" of illegal immigrants
end the president's abuse of executive immigration authority

Improve the asylum process and make it more efficient

Following the successful passage of the Secure the Border Act, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) slammed the Biden administration for allowing Title 42 to expire while touting their "action to address the chaos at our nation's borders."

#3 I'm sure Massie opposed it because it didn't go far enough or had some carve-outs in it that were non-starters if the point was to close the border.

#4 I think Massie was against some E-Verify clause in that bill.
