(Willmar MN-) Negotiations continue on legislation to improve security at the southern U.S. border. In Willmar last week, Representative Michelle Fischbach said she disagreed with a ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court allowing federal troops to remove razor wire at the border put up by Texas authorities...
...Fischbach said negotiations on funding border security continues...
...A bi-partisan compromise bill was passed in The U.S. Senate, but some feel it won't pass the Republican-controlled House because Donald Trump wants border security to be a major part of his upcoming presidential campaign. President Bid last week issued a statement saying The Senate Bill would give him "a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law." Bid said the funding he requested last fall "includes an additional 1,300 border patrol agents, 375 immigration judges, 1,600 asylum officers, and over 100 cutting-edge inspection machines to help detect and stop fentanyl at our southwest border."
