During an interview on Friday, McCarthy said it\u2019s not enough for Democrats to defund our cities, but now they have to defund the borders as well.<\/p>\n<p>He noted the proposal didn\u2019t add any extra money for Border Patrol agents working overtime and being pushed like never before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what else the Democrats are doing? They didn\u2019t add one extra dollar to the Border Patrol agents who are working overtime, who are being pushed like they\u2019ve never been pushed before to protect us,\u201d said McCarthy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Americans agree \u2192 The Biden Border Crisis is a serious issue.

Additionally, the drop in funds provides no additional funding for more Border Patrol agents or construction of a wall at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told lawmakers they didn\u2019t need any more funding and that the money would be of better use on improving technology and more secure ports of entry.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tropical-storm-elsa-strengthens-to-hurricane-status\/\">Tropical Storm Elsa Strengthens To Hurricane Status<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. House Minority Leader Rep.
