Congressional leaders are rushing to pass it before the Christmas break.<\/p>\n<p>House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy opposes the bill, arguing that Congress should pass a funding bill that expires in January, allowing the new Congress to negotiate its own package.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina Republican Rep. Dan Bishop and his staff combed through the legislation all day Tuesday and identified some of the earmarks and controversial spending provisions in the full text.<\/p>\n<p>Among Bishop&#8217;s findings was language that prohibits U.S. Customs and Border Protection from using its $1.5 billion in funding to &#8220;acquire, maintain or extend border security technology and capabilities, except\u00a0for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol\u00a0processing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It expressly prohibits CBP funding from being used to improve border security,&#8221; Bishop tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230; but at the same time, allocates $410 million towards border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepDanBishop\/status\/1605255433597460480?s=20&#038;t=IsfN-qagymk4GbJa93n8vA\">he continued in a follow-up tweet<\/a>.\u00a0&#8220;America Last in action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRickScott\/status\/1605305394473373696?s=20&#038;t=IsfN-qagymk4GbJa93n8vA\">Bishop&#8217;s findings<\/a>, Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott posted on Twitter: &#8220;How can any Republican justify voting for this?&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, was asked for his reaction to the border security language in the omnibus bill.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m absolutely, just, disgusted that even the Republicans, some Republicans, are willing to throw the American people under the bus, that they&#8217;re not willing to provide border security,&#8221; he said on the Just the News Not Noise TV program. &#8220;If you look at the omnibus, it specifically says that they can&#8217;t provide money to actual border security measures. All it does is it&#8217;s going to process people through the system quicker and when we process people quicker, that just encourages more people to cross our borders illegally. That&#8217;s wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The more than 4,000-page, $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill prohibits funds for U.S. border security but it provides funding for border security in foreign nations.Democrats need at least 10 votes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1783714,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[9369,6962,3895,5458,6251,3811,5542,6513,5771,7991,11132,3819,3646,7238],"class_list":["post-1783711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-for","tag-the","tag-bill","tag-bongino","tag-boosts","tag-border","tag-foreign","tag-funding","tag-nations","tag-omnibus","tag-prohibits","tag-report","tag-security","tag-u-s"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1783711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1783711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1783711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1783714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1783711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1783711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1783711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
