WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, today made this statement following the U.S. House of Representatives' passage of the Secure America Act. It now heads to President Trump's desk to be signed into law.
"I applaud my House Republican colleagues for their swift passage of the Secure America Act. Despite Democrat efforts to shut down ICE and Border Patrol, Republicans have now fully funded these agencies through President Trump's entire second term to the tune of nearly $70 billion.
"Thanks to President Trump, our border has gone from its weakest point to its most secure point in less than two years. This bill fulfills the mandate given to us by the American people and ensures we won't go back to the failed immigration policies of the Biden Administration.
"Well done to President Trump, Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune and all involved in getting this legislation over the finish line."
