WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) voted in favor of S. 2, the Secure America Act. Following the passage of this legislation, Rep. Palmer released the following statement:

"Securing our border and enforcing our immigration laws are fundamental responsibilities of the federal government. This legislation provides critical funding for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to help restore order at the border after years of crisis caused by the Biden administration," said Rep. Palmer. "Democrats have pushed efforts to defund the police for years. Now, many of them are opposing funding for law enforcement at the border. For the wellbeing of our nation, CBP and ICE agents deserve the resources necessary to do their jobs safely and effectively."

"A nation without borders is not a nation at all. This bill strengthens our ability to stop illegal immigration, combat human trafficking and drug smuggling, and protect American communities. I look forward to seeing it being signed into law," concluded Rep. Palmer.
