Congressman Ruben Gallego’s Statement on the Approval of the Republican Poison Pill Amendments to the DHS Funding Bill
Washington, DC – Congressman Ruben Gallego released the following statement on the approval of the House Republicans poison pill amendments to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill:
"It's disappointing, but unfortunately not surprising that my Republican colleagues once again chose politics instead of doing what's in the best interest of our country. It's outrageous and shameful that Republicans are toying with our national security in order to undermine President Obama and hurt immigrant families.
"By voting for this anti-immigrant poison pills Republicans continue to prove that they can't govern and that they're willing to do anything to score political points – even putting our national security at risk."
