One Week Into The Democrat Shutdown, Arrington Reminds Americans of Democrats' Record

WASHINGTON, D.C.-As the government shutdown hits the one-week mark, House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) issued the following statement to remind Americans of Democrats' record on government funding and open-border policies.

Democrats voted for 13 clean continuing appropriations bills (CR) under Biden. Now, they're rejecting a clean CR and providing a completely unserious counteroffer of $1.5 trillion in new spending, a repeal of work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients, and protections for illegal immigrants receiving taxpayer-funded health care. Remember, in 2020, every Democratic presidential candidate promised health care for illegals, then Biden expanded Obamacare to illegals by executive order, and then 43 Democrat Senators voted AGAINST a ban on funding health care for illegals just a few months ago. When people show you who they are, believe them. Democrats don't have the time or credibility to rebrand themselves as anything other than what they've become: open-border radicals.
