Immigration enforcement funding

“Andy voted for the largest border security bill in history that sent record resources to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to seal our border in 2025.”

“Funding to hire more border agents”

“Whether it was successfully leading the defense of President Trump’s authority in federal court to build the wall in his first term or voting to send record resources to CBP through the Big Beautiful Bill to secure the border, I will always stand side-by-side with the men and women of the NBPC.”

“In Congress, Jerry worked to pass one of the strongest border security bills in history, including funding to build a border wall and hire a record number of Border Patrol agents.”

“Fully fund law enforcement to keep our communities safe and protect our borders.”

“Gallrein will team up with President Trump and the Republican Party to finish the wall, fully fund Border Patrol & ICE, secure the border once and for all, and rebuild our military to support our national security to sustain peace and prosperity.”

“I am proud to have voted for historic funding and investment for our border security in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which helped provide the Trump administration with the resources they need to keep our border secure and the American people safe.”

“I authored legislation included in the One Big Beautiful Bill, the WIRED Act, based on Oklahoma’s successful policy taxing wire transfers sent out of the country to fund our border security.”

“When the Senate sent back a weakened version that left out ICE and Border Patrol funding, Lamb called it unacceptable. He made clear that defunding those agencies would be a disaster for border states and would push the burden onto local sheriffs and law enforcement across the country.”

“He has supported legislation to increase enforcement on individuals who cross the border illegally and commit serious crimes, enhance coordination between state and local officials on the southern border, and fund 22,000 border patrol agents, including 150 counter-fentanyl officers.”

“We must balance the need to invest in border security, the military and our service members, while also rebuilding our key allyships.”

“I will work with anyone from any party to strengthen our immigration system and better control who is coming into this country. We need to properly fund a secure border— including the latest technology— to make sure drug dealers are not slipping through the cracks.”

“As a member of the Texas House Appropriations Committee, I put the sovereignty of the Texas border above all else. While the Democrats and Moderate Republicans were trying to tear down Trump’s wall, I fought successfully to appropriate billions of dollars toward finishing the wall and investing in critical border security initiatives.”

“Steve also secured billions in funding for border security initiatives as a member of the Appropriations Committee.”

“And I believe that ICE funds should be repurposed to build out the legal infrastructure of courts to create a clear pathway to citizenship for those who are stuck in limbo in our current system.”

“It’s time to end funding for these shameful deportation policies and redirect that investment where it belongs: into our communities.”

“In Washington, he will redirect spending toward our children and families, so that the resources no longer being wasted on mass deportations start building something that actually lasts.”

“It is absolutely unacceptable to use our tax dollars to fund the terrorizing of hardworking families and the extrajudicial killing of Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.”

“Cut ICE funding immediately to pre-Trump levels, then Replace ICE with a federal immigration agency that Americans can trust and that obeys the Law and Constitution.”

“That is why Chris wrote the bill to redirect ICE’s $75 billion slush fund to local law enforcement to improve public safety.”

“Chris has introduced legislation to redirect ICE’s $75 billion slush fund to local law enforcement to improve public safety.”

“Stopping the Abuse of Your Tax Dollars: While you struggle with rising costs and can't afford rent, Trump spends billions of taxpayer dollars and other government resources building immigrant prison camps like Alligator Alcatraz, killing American citizens, and violently targeting law-abiding immigrant families. If Trump spent as much time worrying about lowering costs as he does tormenting immigrants, things would be a lot less expensive. I will fight to keep our federal government focused on lowering costs and stop Trump’s corruption and abuse of power.”

“Barr voted to fund the largest deportation in history through President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, tripling funding for ICE agents.”

“I’m Andy Barr and I approve this message because I funded ICE at record levels, and I want every dangerous criminal illegal they can find deported.”

“I was with Trump every step of the way, leading the fight to help him build the wall, and fund the largest deportation effort in history.”

“Gallrein will team up with President Trump and the Republican Party to finish the wall, fully fund Border Patrol & ICE, secure the border once and for all, and rebuild our military to support our national security to sustain peace and prosperity.”

“When the Senate sent back a weakened version that left out ICE and Border Patrol funding, Lamb called it unacceptable. He made clear that defunding those agencies would be a disaster for border states and would push the burden onto local sheriffs and law enforcement across the country.”

“Barry voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill that provided $45 billion to ICE to deport the 10 million+ illegal immigrants that have entered since 2020.”

“In Congress, Jace Yarbrough will support President Trump and work with ICE & DHS leadership to ensure they have the resources that they need to continue protecting our communities from criminal illegal aliens.”

“I was with Trump every step of the way, leading the fight to help him build the wall, and fund the largest deportation effort in history.”

“In Congress, Jerry worked to pass one of the strongest border security bills in history, including funding to build a border wall and hire a record number of Border Patrol agents.”

“Gallrein will team up with President Trump and the Republican Party to finish the wall, fully fund Border Patrol & ICE, secure the border once and for all, and rebuild our military to support our national security to sustain peace and prosperity.”

“To protect our nation’s security and sovereignty, I voted to fund the border wall (H.R.695), and I cosponsored the No Funding for Sanctuary Campuses Act (H.R.768) to stop public funding for colleges that do not follow federal immigration law.”

“As a member of the Texas House Appropriations Committee, I put the sovereignty of the Texas border above all else. While the Democrats and Moderate Republicans were trying to tear down Trump’s wall, I fought successfully to appropriate billions of dollars toward finishing the wall and investing in critical border security initiatives.”

“Leverage the government funding process in the Senate to demand immediate reforms. Democrats must condition support for the Homeland Security Department budget on meaningful immigration reforms — including a ban on masks, warrant requirements for arrests, visible identification for officers, an end to racial profiling, reforms to ICE’s recruitment and training practices, and accountability for abuse and law-breaking.”

“Cyril is standing with fellow mayors across the country calling on Congress to condition any new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding on clear, enforceable guardrails: CBP and ICE agents must be clearly identifiable (no masks), body-worn cameras must be used, entries must require judicial warrants, and sensitive places like schools and hospitals must be protected. Law enforcement and constitutional rights are not competing goals.”

“Automatic budget cuts for Homeland Security agencies that fail to follow federal court orders as soon as practically possible.”

“The answer is not to defund law enforcement – it’s to fund law enforcement with intention. That includes ICE. That means supporting the officers who serve honorably while insisting on training, body cameras, clear identification, lawful conduct, and meaningful oversight.”

“True security doesn’t come from writing a blank check to a leaderless agency. That’s why I was outraged when our current Congressman, Juan Ciscomani, voted last year via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to hand DHS a $150 billion slush fund designed to evade congressional oversight – paid for by gutting Arizonans’ health care.”

“We need serious accountability measures in the [DHS] bill and we didn’t get that in the bill that was presented to the House last week. That’s why I voted no.”

“They have plenty of funding right now. They had $75 billion that they received in the reconciliation bill last year that they could use for all sorts of good standards and better training, and all the things that our local departments are doing to better equip our officers for the 21st Century, to focus on the community and to keep our country safe. So we need to spell that out in the bill.”

“ICE is out of control right now; one need look no further than their killings of two Americans in broad daylight. The firing of Kristi Noem was long overdue and in no way addresses the underlying problems with that overfunded and undersupervised agency. As a former federal prosecutor, I will always be for immigration enforcement against violent criminals and a secure border, but what we’re seeing right now is ICE inspiring fear rather than public safety and killing taxpayers instead of serving them.”
