With the Biden administration's ongoing failure to secure the #border , Oklahoma's House has now passed a Texas-style illegal immigration bill. The states will continue to step up if Washington fails to do its constitutional duty. tulsaworld.com/news/state-reg…

Nice to see some California lawmakers finally waking up & understanding that without government upholding law and order, our society & our economy can't thrive. Hopefully all left-leaning states start rejecting their policies that encouraged lawlessness. politico.com/news/2024/04/0…

More distressing news via the U.S. CBO and Financial Times. Interest payments on US government debt will account for about 75% of the rise in the #deficit between now and 2034. The deficit’s share as a proportion of GDP will increase from 5.6% this year to 6.1% within 10 years.

For the first 5 months of fiscal 2024, interest on the national debt rose 41% to $433 billion and was exceeded only by Social Security as an individual line item. Completely unsustainable! #nationaldebt

I'm saddened to hear about these tragic deaths that occurred along the border. National Guard & Border Patrol put themselves in harm's way every day in the never-ending fight to keep our country secure. My prayers go out to the families of those lost in this terrible accident.
