the contentious weeklong battle for speaker. kevin mccarthy s rocky road to the gavel including sessions made to the far-right s holdouts is raising fresh questions about how a republican-led house will govern. earlier today, house republicans getting their take. sometimes democracy is messy, but i would argue that s exactly how the founders intended it. they wanted real debate, real input from all people, and then you get a decision. it is positive, not negative. it is not weakening kevin mccarthy it is providing the speaker with the tools he needs for republicans to go to the map of the american people. 218-plus republicans realized that kevin mccarthy needs a chance to govern, and we are going to give him a chance. well, democrats giving a different view earlier today. the leader hakeem jeffries expressing concerns with the prolonged speaker fight means for the house moving forward. this function was historic that we saw this week is not at an end, it is just the

of laws with respect to immigration so people know that if they apply and come legally, they have a very reasonable chance of being dealt with judiciously, and with due process. okay, as we are looking at what is happening there, we see a handful of officers and, again, dozens and dozens certainly numbering into the low hundreds of people milling about. so my question is in terms of resources, sir, president biden, as you know, has requested three and a half billion dollars to try and secure the border and higher 2000 asylum officers. about 100 immigration judges as well. however, congress has only approved 1.6 billion. that came down last month, i believe, when the congress was led by the democrats. how much can biden actually do on his own. what he is doing today, coming there, showing a presence getting a firsthand look, he says he wants to talk with
