WASHINGTON - Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller from Illinois took a stand against the $1.65 trillion omnibus bill that supports President Joe Biden's agenda. In a statement following her vote against the bill, Miller expressed her concerns about the country's financial situation and the priorities reflected in the spending package.
"I am voting against the $1.65 trillion omnibus spending bill because we are $34 trillion in debt, the U.S. dollar is becoming worthless, and our country is being invaded, but this spending bill fails to seriously cut wasteful D.C. spending or force Biden to the table to secure the border," stated Miller.
Highlighting specific issues within the omnibus bill, Miller pointed out that it funds sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with ICE, supports the Biden administration's legal actions against the president's political adversaries, and allows the Department of Veterans Affairs to use taxpayer money for abortions and gender transitions.
"The omnibus bill funds sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE to deport criminal illegal aliens, it funds the Biden DOJ's partisan prosecution of Joe Biden's political opponents, and it allows the VA to pay for abortions and gender 'transitions' with tax dollars. I will not vote to fund Joe Biden's radical left-wing agenda," emphasized Miller.
Miller's vote against the omnibus bill underscores the ongoing political divide in Congress over fiscal priorities and ideological stances on key policy issues.
