The House stayed in session until we got our job done to address the border crisis. The two bills passed tonight provide needed resources to secure our southern border while preventing President Obama from acting unilaterally to grant amnesty against the American peoples wishes. This legislation also closes the loophole that incentivized individuals to make the dangerous journey from Central America and escalated this crisis. As opposed to the president’s $3.7 billion request, the $694 million in this bill is fully offset so that it will not intensify another crisis: our national debt. When our nation is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis, we need to act. I’m pleased Members of the House stayed in Washington to work out the solution our constituents depended on us to provide.
