Congressman Aderholt’s Statement on House Passage of the Secure America Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed S. 2, the Secure America Act.

The Secure America Act just passed the House and is headed to the President's desk. This $70 billion dollar legislation is critical funding that supports U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through 2029.

Our CBP and ICE agents work diligently to keep our communities safe and protected from dangerous criminals and threats.

Republicans are delivering on their commitment to secure America's borders safely and effectively.

For 76 days, Democrats held the Department of Homeland Security hostage when they shut down operations. Today, every single House Democrat voted to defund ICE and Border Patrol. With the Secure America Act, Republicans are finishing the job and providing the Department of Homeland Security with the resources needed to support the men and women that secure our border and keep our communities safe.
