Washington - Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) has voiced her opposition to the short-term funding bill that was voted on today. The bill, which aimed to provide temporary funding for the Biden government, failed to address what Miller considers a pressing issue - the Biden Border Crisis. In a statement released by Representative Miller, she expressed her concerns about the government's handling of illegal immigration and the use of taxpayer money for resettlement purposes.
Miller's statement read, "I cannot vote to fund a government that allows millions of illegal aliens to invade our country and then uses our tax dollars to resettle them in every state. Joe Biden has no respect for the American people, our immigration laws, or the oath he took to defend our borders."
The congresswoman further highlighted her apprehension towards the current state of border security, stating, "Millions of military-aged men are walking across our border and boarding flights without identification, while American citizens are required to show ID." Miller emphasized the need for a secure border, suggesting that if the Biden administration fails to address this issue, Congress should withhold funding.
Miller concluded her statement by asserting, "We cannot fund our own invasion!" The congresswoman's strong stance reflects her belief that the government should prioritize border security and protect the interests of American citizens.
The short-term funding bill, which failed to garner Miller's support, has faced criticism for not adequately addressing the Biden Border Crisis. As the issue continues to remain a point of contention, it remains to be seen how the government will address the concerns raised by Representative Miller and others who share her perspective.
