Our troops deserve support \u2014 not reckless Democrat claims that they\u2019re following \u201cillegal orders,\u201d putting a target on their backs.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump is right to pause immigration from countries we can\u2019t vet. As I\u2019ve said repeatedly, \u201cIf we can\u2019t vet them, they don\u2019t belong here.\u201d That\u2019s why I voted against Biden\u2019s $6 billion Afghan resettlement package that rushed unvetted arrivals into the country. President Trump is cleaning up Biden\u2019s mess and I fully support him.\u201d\n\nIn September of 2021, Barr voted against H.R. 5305, which Joe Biden later signed into law. This bill provided $6.3B in emergency funding to support resettlement and support services for unvetted Afghan refugees. It also made refugees eligible for certain entitlement programs.\n\nBarr was joined in voting NO on this law by then-Senator Marco Rubio, Congressman Mike Waltz, and Congressman Lee Zeldin.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://barr.house.gov/press-releases?ID=DA892639-48F2-461A-B0F8-0D88A82BE7A3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8711300324648619, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
