WASHINGTON - Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) voted NO on today's short-term funding bill, which does nothing to address the Biden Border Crisis. Representative Miller released the following statement:
“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. Millions of military-aged men are walking across our border and boarding flights without identification, while American citizens are required to show ID. If Biden refuses to secure our border, Congress should refuse to fund the Biden government. We cannot fund our own invasion!"
