Congressman Ruben Gallego Co-Sponsors Clean DHS Funding Bill
Washington, DC – Congressman Ruben Gallego signed up as a co-sponsor to H.R. 861 – a clean DHS funding bill introduced by Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard and Congresswoman Nita Lowey.
Congressman Ruben Gallego released the following statement:
"I am happy to join Congresswoman Roybal-Allard and Congresswoman Nita Lowey in supporting a clean DHS funding bill that doesn't include anti-immigrant poison pills.
"There are 17 days left until DHS runs out of funds putting our national security at risk. This is no time to play with our country's safety, the American people elected us to work on their behalf and the safety of our country should not be a partisan or political issue.
"For the well-being of our country, of the American people, and of the thousands of Border Patrol and TSA agents who on February 27th would have to work without pay, I urge Speaker Boehner to bring up H.R. 861 and stop playing games with our security."
