Today, Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) released the following statement on his vote against H.R. 5860, the Continuing Appropriations Act, in the U.S. House of Representatives.  This legislation will fund the government at fiscal year 2023 levels for an additional 45 days.

“Yet again, Washington has failed to address the most critical national security issue facing this country—our wide-open southern border. Today’s continuing resolution included not a cent in additional funding to combat illegal immigration and is a slap in the face to the communities I represent. Congress missed a key opportunity to deliver today. From here until our next funding deadline, I will fight tooth and nail to ensure that our southern border is not forgotten,” said Congressman Tony Gonzales.
