Press Release

Date: July 27, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: National Security Government Budget and Spending

"One of my top priorities as Chair was to ensure this budget supercharges our fight against fentanyl, and I'm proud this bill invests nearly $900 million in new money to dramatically step up our efforts to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. and crack down on transnational criminal organizations. It also provides funding to reduce employment backlogs at USCIS, support the refugee resettlement program, and help communities build resiliency in the face of increasingly frequent extreme weather events. This is a bipartisan budget that gives DHS the necessary resources to tackle threats to national security and humanely manage our borders, and I look forward to getting it to the President's desk."
