It does appear the House Republicans are majoring in political theater, and are drama queens.
So I am saddened to say, if the US really need something done, beside political theater, we are in trouble!
The border requires more money, and the US Congress holds the power of the purse.

Do you think that Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas has done a good job keeping us safe? If you do why?
Keeping us safe from what/who? Yes, the inflow of immigrants over the southern border has been huge. From the aspect of safety, though, those immigrants pose only a small part of the overall picture of what is harming and killing Americans. Fentanyl? Drugs are trafficked in by boat, plane, and by U.S. citizens. The big fentanyl influx is not from the people trying to escaped poverty and crime in their own countries.
A U.S. citizen is way more apt to fall victim to being shot by another U.S. citizen than they are to die from fentanyl! Gun deaths now outpace child deaths in automobile accidents. And, it's not immigrants pulling the triggers!! How can Mayorkas by responsible for that when Congress won't even consider a discussion about keeping firearms from the hands of those killing our children?
Reality is we do not have available the funds to handle those immigrating from the south. A multi billion dollar "wall" built under the last POTUS is falling down. It never was a deterrent even when new! We need more people to screen the immigrants. Money for additional Border Patrol staff... Money for wireless technology to better patrol the border... Any additional funds for the border have gone unapproved by this House of Representatives. Is that Mayorkas' fault?
The POTUS has asked for a bipartisan plan put together to handle the flow of immigrants. The Senate sat down as adults and worked through a bill that could greatly assist with the immigration issue. House leadership will not do anything except obstruct without orders from a past POTUS. They have not hidden their intent to do nothing except try to put blame on Mayorkas and the current POTUS. The bipartisan bill will not even reach the floor of the House due to instructions from tfg. And, how is that a Mayorkas issue?
We, as a democratic republic, are in trouble. A segment of our population is intent on turning democracy into a theocracy... installing a despot as the next POTUS. We have a House of Representatives that have passed fewer bills than any other House since the 30's. They cannot govern. All they want to do is play political theater. They want photo ops, not solutions.
Has Mayorkas done a good job? Let's flip this! Without funding for people and technology, what more could he have done? With a House of Representatives holding the purse strings and shouting from the rooftops they will not fund any border bills because tfg is telling them not to...who really is at fault for the problems at the border? This administration or a House majority of fanatics dead set on doing nothing without direction from their MAGA cult leader!!!

A U.S. citizen is way more apt to fall victim to being shot by another U.S. citizen than they are to die from fentanyl! ================================================================= FYI The nation is grappling with a surge in opioid deaths, and there's no question that fentanyl is a key factor driving up those fatalities. Fentanyl is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. We reached out to Van Duyne's office to ask for her source for the statement but didn’t hear back. Van Duyne’s office did, however, provide an Associated Press fact check of a Families Against Fentanyl analysis that specified an age range for fentanyl-related deaths. The advocacy group Families Against Fentanyl examined CDC data and determined fentanyl has become the leading cause of death for people ages 18 to 45 in 2019 and 2020. The group compared synthetic-opioid-related deaths with other major causes of death, which were listed in another CDC data set on leading causes of death. Biden has had three years to try to fix some of our border problems. What did Biden do? He did away with Trumps border polices on his first day in office and we all, including Biden, Mayorkes, and you are paying the price. Biden could fix many of the problems at the border with a stroke of his pen without any monetary cost to the US taxpayers, in fact it would save money. No bill would have been needed. Now we is talking about using his executive power to help fix the border his problem.

You seem to think that's not important. Biden has tried to get much needed funding to improve border security. Republicans have stood in the way because they'll do anything to prevent Democrats from having a "win." The latest bill, created by James Langford, one of the most conservative senators, provided a large amount of that needed funding, but Trump said, "Kill the bill," so speaker of the house, Donald Trump gets his way, and Republicans continue to use immigration as a political football while nothing gets done. The bill would easily pass in the house if only Donald Trump would allow it to come to the floor for a vote, but the assistant speaker, Michael Johnson follows orders from speaker, Donald Trump, who follows orders from President Putin, refuses to allow that to happen.

The US southern border could be shout down, and would have no Effect on Fentanyl use in the US.Most of the trumps polices were legally questionable and not very moral, which trump had no trouble doing?
Biden, being more caring about people and people's rights, would like to do things the right way, but without, money, he maybe forced to do distasteful things, he does not want to do. That is why it is taking so long. It is easier to fix the border, if you are cruel and inhuman, like trump.

Biden has had three years to try to fix the border problem he crated, that is a fact, he has done nothing, and we all are paying the price, just ask the mayors of our large cities. The bill you are talking about was a try to save face for Biden. It was a bad bill and could not pass the Senate.
