Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) shamed House Republicans on Thursday for failing to bring their bill to address the border crisis up for a vote.

“It’s beyond belief that Congress is abandoning its post while our border crisis continues to create humanitarian suffering, and criminal aliens still represent a clear threat to our citizens and our nation,” Perry said in a statement.

“While Texas has taken what steps it can to mitigate the damage caused by a porous border, Congress and the President have a duty to address our border security issues without further delay. Congress should not go into recess until the job is completed.”

It now appears that members will stay in D.C. to work on the border bill before leaving for August recess. House Republicans will meet Friday morning to discuss their approach.
