Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, the only thing this CR does is prolong the out-of-control spending of Biden and Pelosi that fuels our 17.9 percent inflation rate.

This legislation provides no funding for President Trump's border wall. More than 600,000 illegal alien criminals and 300 on the terrorist watch list have entered our open southern border under Biden, and there is no doubt that American families are in danger.

Just this week in Alabama, two illegal aliens were arrested as part of a child trafficking sex ring.

Last week in Georgia, a young girl, with a bright future ahead of her, was murdered by an illegal alien. The list of tragedies is growing, and it is past time to do something about it.

I signed the Immigration Accountability Project pledge to oppose all government funding until the action is taken to secure our southern border. Instead of kicking the can down the road with another CR, the number one priority of this Congress should be funding Trump's wall and defunding this invasion. We must fund President Trump's wall and defund Biden's backdoor contributions to organizations that are sending illegals to a city near you. It should not take more than one tragedy for our border to become a priority. It is time to finish the Trump wall and protect Americans.
