ICYMI: Horsford Asks Why Republicans Don’t Want to Pass Legislation to Secure Our Border

January 30, 2024

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) spoke on the House Floor to confront House Republicans on their rejection of bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform. He accused them of refusing to take yes for answer by repeatedly blocking attempts to fix our broken immigration system. 

Had they not cut off Congressman Horsford’s remarks, he would have added:

“Speaker Johnson and House Republicans have refused to take up President Biden’s requests to hire MORE law enforcement officials, hire MORE asylum officers, and to fund NEW technologies that detect fentanyl and other illicit drugs. It’s time to stop playing political games and let’s get to work to pass meaningful reforms to secure our border and provide safe, orderly, and lawful pathways to entry.”
