WATCH: TulsiGabbard blasts ‘incompetent’ Congress over failing border security in omnibus bill
Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard blasted Democrats and Republicans in Congress as"incompetent" for side-stepping border security as they worked to pass the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill.
“There's about $1.5 billion there that's been set aside for Customs and Border Protection, border security,” Gabbard told Fox News on Thursday. “The problem is the language also says they're not actually allowed to use any of that money to secure the border. They can’t use it to expand their security capabilities. So, when you look at what they’re actually doing, ultimately they either don’t care, as you said, or they are purely incompetent. Either way, they’re failing at their jobs.
Efforts to address the border crisis in the omnibus’s Homeland Security Appropriations Bill note that funds will provide “temporary soft-sided facilities, transportation, and personnel support, which will reduce overcrowding at facilities and allow agents to return to the field faster. Additionally, funding is provided for humanitarian assistance that bolsters the operational capabilities of the U.S.
"[W]hat's at the heart of this is we have Democrats and Republicans, frankly, in Congress who are failing at their most basic and foremost responsibility, which is to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of the American people, and that starts with securing our border," Gabbard said."We don't have a country if we don't have a secure border.
