Gallego on Senate Voting Down Anti-immigrant DHS Funding Bill

Washington, DC – Today the Senate voted down a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which contains several anti-immigrant amendments that would roll back the President's Executive Orders to provide Deferred Action and protect DREAMers and parents of U.S. citizen children from deportation. Congressman Ruben Gallego released the following statement:

"We all knew this bill wouldn't go anywhere. The Senate didn't have the 60 votes to pass it, and the President made it clear that even if it passed, he would veto it. Instead of doing their job and actually governing, Republicans insist on wasting time and taxpayer money holding political show votes that do nothing to move our country forward."
