U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher Votes no on Foreign Aid Package.
WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher released the following statement on his vote against the rule to advance foreign aid today.
“The Biden administration’s number one priority is to have an open border. This is a refusal to enforce American law and has resulted in homeland security threats, illicit drug and human trafficking, and entitlements to illegals… on a horrific scale.
As Congress considers whether or not to send $95 billion in cash, weapons, and other aid to foreign nations, our own nation is hemorrhaging because of the open border and a $34 trillion debt load.
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Leader Schumer: Most Americans understand that in order to help other nations, we must be healthy ourselves… and it’s Americans that we serve first. I voted no on the rule to advance foreign aid expenditures without first addressing these issues at home”
