Statement by Congressman Harris on Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Programs at Southern Border


WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House of Representatives is considering a bill, H.R. 3401, that allegedly attempts to address the humanitarian crisis along the southern border of the United States. However, the bill fails to provide funds to the Department of Defense for assistance with border security or to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency for additional beds for detained immigrants, and limits the ability of the Department of Homeland Security to enforce immigration laws. The bill is supported along partisan lines in Congress, and the House is considering the bill only after the Senate began drafting its own version.

Rep. Harris made the following statement regarding H.R. 3401:

“H.R. 3401 is a partisan attempt to hide the fact that the liberal majority in the House of Representatives is so blinded by anti-Trump fervor that they completely failed to address the real and growing humanitarian crisis at the border – and children have suffered the consequences. The president’s request would better provide resources to help respond to the flow of women and children across our southern border, and the failure of liberals in the House has been exposed.”

Andy it goes beyond their dislike of Trump. Trump is simply the symbol of patriotic and pro America actions and attitudes that drives their anger and hate. They have always had a suppressed hatred and dislike for our Country, its values and history. Trump has simply peeled off their cover and now they are showing themselves in honest fashion who they really are and what they really stand for; and it is not pretty. May God have mercy on them.

It is really all about the money and power. Democrats want your money. They want to tell you how to live. How to die. They want to spend your hard earned money. They want to control the number of children you have, where you live, what you eat (Michelle Obama), what you watch on TV,. You get the picture. Democrats want to control your every move. Don't let it happen. America is in a good place now thanks to Trump. Let's keep it that way. Vote by MAGA
