Senate begins "vote-a-rama" as GOP moves forward with funding ICE without Democrats - CBS News

Republicans are right to push forward with funding ICE and DHS without bowing to Democrat obstructionism. The Senate’s “vote-a-rama” showcases the GOP’s resolve to secure our borders and enforce the rule of law, even as the left drags its feet on national security. This matters politically because it exposes the Democrats’ dangerous prioritization of open-border ideology over the safety of American citizens. Constitutionally, this fight is about the federal government’s core duty to protect its people, as enshrined in the Preamble’s call for the “common defense.” Limited government doesn’t mean weak government—it means prioritizing essential functions like border security over bloated, partisan agendas. Federalism also demands that states not bear the burden of unchecked immigration due to Washington’s inaction. The GOP’s stand is a reminder that sovereignty isn’t negotiable, and neither is the safety of our communities. Conservatives must rally behind this effort to ensure our laws are enforced and our nation remains secure. Let’s hold the line—America’s future depends on it.
