National Fraternal Order of Police: “The ‘Secure America Act’ will provide DHS and its law enforcement components with substantial multi-year funding to strengthen our nation's defenses against illegal immigration, transnational criminal organizations, terrorists, and other threats to our country by enhancing operational capabilities, supporting our personnel, and helping ensure that law enforcement has the resources and tools necessary to protect our communities.”
Conservative Action Project: “Conservatives urge House Republicans to immediately pass the budget reconciliation bill to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol operations. Any further delay is an unconscionable dereliction of one of Congress’s most basic duties.”
Immigration Accountability Project: “The men and women of ICE and the Border Patrol put their lives on the line every day to enforce the immigration laws you have enacted. They deserve to know that they will continue to be paid for their work. The American people voted for immigration enforcement and the restoration of our national sovereignty. We deserve to know that our Senators stand with us and will keep the campaign promises you made to secure the border and enforce the law. It is time to fund immigration enforcement. Pass the reconciliation bill.”
Numbers USA: “Congress’s number one job is to protect our national security and our sovereignty. Critical federal agencies that protect our homeland have been shut down for 108 days. We are deeply disappointed that Congress did not fund CBP and ICE through the regular appropriations process. It’s time for Congress to fulfill its responsibility by passing the reconciliation bill to fund our men and women and provide the resources needed to secure our border and enforce our immigration laws.”
Independent Women’s Forum: “Following Senate passage of the Secure America Act, legislation that provides roughly $70 billion in funding for immigration enforcement and border security, Independent Women is urging the U.S. House of Representatives to swiftly pass the bill and send it to the president’s desk. The legislation would provide critical resources for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the U.S. Border Patrol to strengthen border security, enforce immigration laws, combat trafficking and drug smuggling, and protect American communities.”
Leader John Thune: As long as Republicans are in charge, there will be agents at our borders to prevent terrorists, traffickers, and other dangerous individuals from making their way into our country, and there will be agents to take criminal illegal immigrants off our streets. I wish I could say the same of my Democrat colleagues.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso: Senate Republicans know that the first duty of government is to prioritize the safety of the American people. Today, we honored that commitment by passing the Secure America Act. Every single Senate Democrat voted against this important bill. For months they blocked funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Border Patrol. Democrats showed the nation that they are the party of open borders, protecting illegal immigrant criminals, and defunding the police. Republicans will always prioritize the safety and security of America
