Bergman: No Spending Deal Without Border Funding

Washington, January 18, 2024
Washington - Rep. Jack Bergman issued the following statement regarding today's Continuing Resolution vote in the U.S. House of Representatives: 

Rep. Bergman stated, “If we don’t secure our borders, we won’t have a Nation to fund. Until Congress gets serious about securing the border, I will not support another dime of federal spending.

"I understand Republicans only have the majority in the House of Representatives, and spending negotiations with the Senate and White House will not yield perfect solutions.

"We’ve waited long enough, we’ve kicked the can long enough, and we’ve held out for a 'bipartisan solution'' long enough. I will be loudly voting no on today’s Continuing Resolution.”
