Wyoming Congresswoman and House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) released the following statement after the House voted to pass legislation that would provide $4.59B in humanitarian assistance for the southern border.

“America is facing a humanitarian and security crisis on our southern border. Speaker Pelosi should be ashamed she wasted valuable time playing politics while lives are at stake. For months, House Democrats have sought to undermine law enforcement and ignored President Trump’s repeated calls to take action, secure our border, and keep our country safe. The House was finally able to vote today on bipartisan legislation that will provide the crucial resources needed at our border.”
