Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on H.R. 3351, Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act.
Mr. Graves, thank you for yielding.
I appreciate the work that you and Chairman Quigley have done to craft the Financial Services and General Government bill for fiscal year 2020.
The bill includes many priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle, such as support for small businesses, drug control programs, and the Treasury Department's counterterrorism and financial intelligence efforts.
However, I am concerned that there are several controversial items in the bill regarding immigration policy, the border wall, collective bargaining, and many other provisions that will tie this Administration's hands.
Regarding the District of Columbia, this bill fails to provide appropriate oversight.
WASHINGTON – Today, top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger (R-TX) delivered the following remarks on H.R. 3401, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act.
Madam Speaker, I claim such time as I may consume.
Almost two months ago, the Administration sounded the alarm about the crisis at our southwest border and told the Congress additional funds were needed.
Unfortunately, this border supplemental appropriations bill, H.R. 3401, falls short and will only further delay addressing the problem. I oppose the bill in its current form.
Hundreds of thousands of people have arrived at the border this year. Some are coming through points of entry, but many are crossing through the desert or the Rio Grande.
