U.S. Gov. Shutdown Lead to Immigration Clash

[Bloomberg News] Full story here

House Republicans are preparing to turn an impending government shutdown into a clash with Democrats over border enforcement as New York, Chicago and other major cities struggle with a migrant influx. The approach is intended to temporarily set aside differences among GOP lawmakers over how deeply and where to cut federal spending while maintaining a collision course with Democrats that risks shutting down the US government on Oct. 1.

Architects of the plan hope the cause will have broader public appeal as concerns about immigration rise in new areas of the country. Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams said this month an increase in migration would “destroy” his city, seeking federal support as Republican governors bus migrants into northern cities.
