Today, Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) expressed his disappointment in the U.S. House of Representatives' failure to address the urgent national security issue of the country's porous southern border. Congressman Gonzales voted against H.R. 5860, the Continuing Appropriations Act, which would 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," stated Congressman Tony Gonzales. "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."

Congressman Gonzales emphasized the importance of securing the southern border and preventing illegal immigration. He expressed his commitment to advocating for additional funding and resources to address this pressing issue. While disappointed with the outcome of the vote, he remains determined to prioritize the security and well-being of the communities he represents.

As the funding deadline approaches, Congressman Gonzales vows to dedicate his efforts to ensure that the southern border receives the attention and support it requires. He will continue to work tirelessly to address this national security concern and safeguard the interests of the American people.
