Rep. Loudermilk on Passage of Budget Resolution

Washington D.C. (April 29, 2026) | Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement following the U.S. House vote on S.Con.Res 33: Setting forth the congressional budget for the United States for fiscal years 2027 through 2035 . “Border security and immigration enforcement are vital elements of any sovereign nation and are too important to be left unfunded. I continue to believe that Homeland Security should be funded in its entirety through proper annual appropriations; but the ability to ensure ICE and Border Patrol can operate without the threat of constant interruptions is vital to our national security. “Americans consistently show support for enforcing secure borders and the removal of foreign criminals, and my Republican colleagues and I are using every avenue available to deliver on this issue, as our colleagues across the aisle stand in opposition to the rule of law. Protecting the American homeland should be a core function of our government, and this legislation allows us to ensure that it will.”
