Proponents of the move argue it's necessary to ensure there is enough funding to address humanitarian and security needs at the border.

"We reserve the right to make decisions about what I think is going to be the best tactics to ensure that we highlight this issue," Roy said at a press conference earlier in the day.

"But that's the objective, it's to draw the attention of the American people on this important issues, and to make sure that Congress doesn't allow itself to just sit here coasting on autopilot, doing their swamp thing going to dinners and not actually doing the business of legislating the American people asked us to do."
