As outlined in the HFC \u201c218 Plan,\u201d this budget resolution provides instruction for $200 billion in new funding for President Trump to rebuild America\u2019s military, secure our southern border and end the Biden immigration crisis. This increased spending is paired with instructions to committees to slash $486 billion in failed Biden policies and wasteful spending, resulting in $286 billion in real deficit reduction over 10 years. Furthermore, it will raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion to give stability to the financial markets and ensure Democrats cannot use it as leverage against President Trump.\n\nThis plan gives President Trump the urgent funding that he needs to secure the border and make America safe again, and we believe it can be done with 218 Republican votes in the House and is in-line with the plans put forward by Senate Republicans.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump was elected with a mandate to close the Southern Border, stop the flood of illegal aliens, begin repatriations of those here illegally, and restore accountability to our government,\u201d said Chairman Andy Harris. \u201cThe House Freedom Caucus has always believed that Congress must rapidly give the President the funds he needs to do this. Given the current delay in the House on moving a comprehensive reconciliation bill, moving a smaller targeted bill now makes the most sense to deliver a win for the President and the American people. I am proud to introduce the Emergency Border Control Resolution today to set the reconciliation process in motion in the House.\u201d\n\nTo read the bill click HERE", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:42:11Z"]], "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://harris.house.gov/media/press-releases/time-action-reconciliation-emergency-border-control-resolution"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.061492133885622, "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"}
