House Republicans Pass Homeland Security Bill that Leaves Communities Less Safe

Press Release

"House Republicans are once again proposing to spend billions of dollars on a misguided and ineffective border wall, rather than focusing resources where we need them most, like combating threats presented by terrorists, transnational criminals, and violent extremists; supporting the Homeland Security workforce; and advancing our cybersecurity posture. We should be building off the bipartisan progress we made last Congress to help solve longstanding and emerging issues at the southern border. The bill misses important opportunities to combat the flow of illicit drugs like fentanyl through our ports of entry and Border Patrol checkpoints and provide funding for humane pathways and processes for those who require refuge in our country. I hope we can end this partisan charade of marking up Republican messaging bills soon and start working together to get this process completed on time."
