The Republican Study Committee is calling for the House GOP's border bill to be a starting point on adding such measures to debt limit talks.
The 57 GOP lawmakers argued "the security of our border is inextricably linked to the fiscal security of our nation." Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
"As we speak, the United States is experiencing a rapidly worsening border crisis and barreling toward a debt limit crisis," read the Republican Study Committee letter sent to President Biden and congressional leaders on Thursday. "Let’s be very clear, these crises are a direct product of the failed policies and neglect of President Biden and Congressional Democrats. We believe each of these issues should be considered together during your current debt limit negotiations."
