This is a refusal to enforce American law and has resulted in homeland security threats, illicit drug and human trafficking, and entitlements to illegals\u2026 on a horrific scale.\n\nAs Congress considers whether or not to send $95 billion in cash, weapons, and other aid to foreign nations, our own nation is hemorrhaging because of the open border and a $34 trillion debt load.\n\nMr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Leader Schumer: Most Americans understand that in order to help other nations, we must be healthy ourselves\u2026 and it\u2019s Americans that we serve first. I voted no on the rule to advance foreign aid expenditures without first addressing these issues at home\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:47:55Z"]], "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://fulcher.house.gov/2024/04/19/id-fd91137a-6ed2-4740-be2a-e462a7ceb1b6/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8769147098064423, "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"}
