Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne voted against H.Res. 1102, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, and issued the following statement:

In her statement, Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne expressed her reasons for voting against the bill, citing concerns about wasteful spending and border security. She highlighted the unsustainable increase in national debt and its potential impact on the economy, job growth, and inflation. Van Duyne emphasized the need for policies to secure the southern border, pointing out the high number of border crossings and the presence of dangerous individuals among illegal immigrants.

Van Duyne criticized the budget bill for not including essential policy changes such as Remain in Mexico, building the border wall, and discontinuing the CBP One app. She drew parallels between the financial challenges faced by North Texas families due to inflation and the need for Washington to make tough decisions on spending.

Looking ahead, Van Duyne affirmed her commitment to advocating for legislation that addresses government spending and implements robust border security measures to ensure the safety of Americans.
