Holding Statement on House-Passed DHS Funding Bill

Statement

Date: Feb. 27, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Government Budget and Spending Immigration

Tonight, Congressman George Holding (NC-13) released the following statement after the House passed a seven-day funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security:

"I will not vote to fund the president's executive orders on immigration. Because those orders have been stopped by a federal court in Texas, at least for now, I voted to continue funding for the Department of Homeland Security for one week in the hope Congress will do, at last, what it should have done a month ago: pass legislation to fund the Department but not President Obama's executive orders."
