Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, let's call a spade a spade. The uniparty's deal to keep spending taxpayer dollars like drunken sailors is a horrible deal for the American people. It is immoral and unsustainable to continue the reckless spending in Washington, D.C.

This debt is going to our children and our children's children. The American people elected a majority that promised to cut spending, cut this out-of-control spending from Washington, D.C., and put an end to the Biden regime's policies that are destroying America.

This bill does the opposite of what we, the majority, promised the American people. Voting for this bill is voting to fund Joe Biden's wide-open border policies that killed 22-year-old Laken Riley last Thursday. Crime in Venezuela sure is going down, and that is because they are all coming through our wide-open borders--criminal, illegal aliens coming through.

Additionally, voting for this bill is voting to enable the cartel, which has operational control of our southern border, to continue the flow of fentanyl into our communities, which is killing our children and our families, our loved ones. They are a foreign terrorist organization, and they are guilty of narcoterrorism. We need to execute our military's ability to stop them. Instead, we are funding these policies to continue.

Voting for this bill is voting to continue Nancy Pelosi's spending, taxpayer-funded abortions, and Green New Deal policies.

Everything we campaigned against and we won this majority on, we are now going completely against it.

We need to govern as we campaign and do what we promised the American people that we would do. That is why I have led to impeach Joe Biden for his dereliction of duty to secure the southern border, and now we must use the power of the purse and not fund a government that is allowing this against its people.

Mr. Speaker, I am voting ``no'' on this continuing resolution, and I urge my colleagues all to do the same.
