Rep. Waltz Votes to Secure the Border and Keep the Government Open
Washington, DC,
February 15, 2019
“Following the longest shut down in history, I will not let partisan games put the families of our Coast Guard and those who protect our country at risk. But this fight isn’t over until the President gets every dollar needed for the barriers and other technologies the Customs and Border Patrol have requested to keep criminals, drugs, and human traffickers from crossing our porous border.”
Congressman Michael Waltz (R-FL) issued the following statement after his vote to secure the border and reopen the government:
“As a veteran, I know first-hand the importance of getting things done, and my community sent me to Washington to do just that. This bill keeps the government open and provides more resources needed to secure our border. I will keep fighting to make sure Congress fully supports the President’s call for a long term solution to both fully securing our borders and legal immigration reform.
