Senate conservatives are mounting a fierce rebellion against the establishment's latest funding deal, with Senators Rick Scott and Mike Lee leading the charge to force real border security and election integrity into any government spending package.

The Florida and Utah senators are demanding that House Republicans reject the current continuing resolution unless it includes robust DHS funding for President Trump's mass deportation agenda and the SAVE America Act requiring voter ID for federal elections - two critical pillars of the America First movement.

This bold move could extend the government shutdown, but Patriots across the nation are asking: isn't it worth it to finally secure our elections and our border?

"We cannot continue to fund a bloated federal bureaucracy while ignoring the basic security needs of the American people," a source close to the negotiations told conservative media. "President Trump was elected to drain the swamp, not feed it with more taxpayer dollars."

Deep State Resistance to Trump Agenda

The establishment's resistance to including voter ID requirements exposes their true priorities. While everyday Americans overwhelmingly support common-sense election security measures, the swamp creatures in both parties seem determined to block any meaningful reform.

"The SAVE America Act should be non-negotiable. Every other developed nation requires ID to vote - why are Democrats and RINOs fighting so hard against basic election integrity?"

Meanwhile, Trump's DHS under Secretary Kristi Noem is ready to execute the largest deportation operation in American history - but they need funding from Congress to get the job done. The fact that some Republicans are hesitant to prioritize border security funding shows just how deep the uniparty swamp really goes.

If Scott and Lee succeed in forcing the package back to the Senate, it could face rejection from establishment Republicans who care more about keeping the government open than keeping America safe.

The question for every patriotic American: will your representatives choose political convenience over the security and integrity our nation desperately needs?

This is exactly why I voted Republican down the ballot. Hold the line senators!

The federal government's first job is to secure our borders and ensure election integrity. Everything else is secondary to those basic responsibilities.

FINALLY! Someone standing up for common sense. Why is asking for ID to vote controversial when you need it for literally everything else?

Exactly! I need ID to buy cold medicine but not to vote? Makes zero sense.

As someone who served this country, it breaks my heart to see our sovereignty being ignored. Will this actually pass or is it just political theater?

Probably won't pass with Democrats controlling the narrative, but at least they're fighting.

Living in Arizona, I see the border crisis firsthand every day. These representatives need to hold the line and not cave to pressure from the establishment.

Good for them! No more blank checks without securing our elections and borders.

Every other developed nation requires voter ID. When I lived in Germany for work, they thought it was insane that some US states don't require it.
