Is this bill the "border bill". Because the President already has the power to close the border at any time. Hence the need to not sign. (There's more in there but thats the only thing I notice why they wont sign)
If its not, then whats in the bill, because enough people in the House read it and didn't like it. There's something in it they dont like. It at least considers giving it a looksee.

It's not the border bill, that was already rejected (despite being very Conservative).

It's the foreign aid bill (for Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel).

The Republicans originally demanded that the Democrats attach the border bill to the foreign aid bill because they knew Democrats would cave to their border demands in order to get the foreign aid bill passed, then they suddenly changed their minds and demanded the border bill be separated from the foreign aid bill (wasting everyone's time, especially Ukrainians lives) then they outright rejected the pretty right wing border bill.

Now Mike is refusing to put the foreign aid bill to a vote in House, despite it already passing Senate and despite the fact that it WOULD pass House, the only one who is holding things up is Mike.
