Chairman Graham Statement On House Adopting Its Budget Resolution

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, today made this statement after the House of Representatives adopted the House Budget Resolution (H. Con. Res 14).

“I appreciate the House’s efforts to begin the process of passing a reconciliation bill.

“I look forward to working with the House to strengthen the tax cut provisions by making them permanent in order to meet President Trump’s priorities. I will also ensure the Department of Homeland Security gets the $175 billion in funding they need to secure the border.

“Time is of the essence when it comes to border security. ICE will run out of money in weeks, not months. Stalling President Trump’s border security agenda is not only bad politics, it is dangerous.”
