On Friday, June 24, Homeland Security Subcommittee Ranking Member Chuck Fleischmann (TN-03) introduced two amendments to the FY23 homeland security funding bill. The first amendment would stop President Biden and Congressional Democrats from spending previously approved funds to build the Border Wall on environmental studies instead of securing the border. The second amendment would ensure no funds in the bill would go to reestablish Biden’s Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) disinformation board. Unfortunately, Democrats voted down both amendments, going against the will of the vast majority of Americans.

“The crisis at our southern border is growing worse by the day. Thousands of illegal migrants are pouring across our border, countless tons of drugs are flooding into our nation and poisoning our citizens, and suspected terrorists are trying to sneak into our nation,” said Rep. Fleischmann. I am incredibly disappointed and frustrated that my Democrat colleagues refuse to acknowledge the crisis at our border and continue to undermine border security. Walls work. I will continue to fight this Administration and Democrats in Congress to ensure that the funds we approved to build the Border Wall are used to build it.”

“I am also disappointed that my Democrat colleagues refused to ensure that no funds in the homeland security bill go to fund any future iteration of Biden’s unconstitutional disinformation board. The federal government has no place in determining what is or is not disinformation, and the idea of bureaucrats in DC policing peoples’ speech should concern every American. While Democrats refused to stand up for the freedom of speech by not supporting my amendment, my fellow Republicans and I will not stop fighting to ensure Biden’s Ministry of Truth does not come back to life, said Congressman Fleischmann.”
