This week, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) took a risk by openly acknowledging the serious “crisis” at the southern border.
“There’s a crisis at the border,” Fetterman told reporters on Friday. “And I don’t know how anybody could pretend that there isn’t.”

In recent weeks, Fetterman has been critical of his party on the border issue on several occasions.
“I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman told NBC News. “I just think I’m a Democrat that is very committed to choice and other things. But with Israel, I’m going to be on the right side of that. And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”
With the possibility of a government shutdown looming, House Republicans are unwavering in their pursuit of increased border security. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and a group of other representatives traveled to the southern border to evaluate the current situation in response to the extraordinary number of illegal aliens entering the country. An alarming 3.2 million interactions with illegal aliens were reported in the fiscal year 2023, underscoring the critical need for swift action.
The number of illegal aliens reported to have entered the country since January 2021 is unclear and underestimated because it does not include “gotaways” and those who have eluded detection. Under President Biden’s administration, over 8 million illegal aliens have entered the nation as of right now.
The president begs Congress to approve a large foreign aid package that will give Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine substantial financial support for security. To start talks on this issue, the president must present a comprehensive plan, according to House Republicans, who have passed a different foreign aid package.

Republicans in the House have vowed firmly to abstain from providing financial support to Ukraine until the situation at the border is resolved.
