This includes the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Forest Service.\n\nThis bill, introduced by Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), passed the House by a vote of 224\u2013203 with one member voting present.\n\n\u201cThe Biden administration continues to advance policies that incentivize illegal immigration at the taxpayers\u2019 expense, turning every community into a border community,\u201d said Congresswoman Tenney. \u201cGovernor Hochul and Mayor Adams have only exacerbated this crisis by allowing migrants to run unchecked in New York, even using taxpayer resources to house them on public parkland. The Protecting Our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act of 2023 puts a stop to this blatant abuse of taxpayer dollars and prohibits the Biden administration from using federal funding to house illegal immigrants on federal property. I will always work to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used in a responsible manner to assist American citizens.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "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://tenney.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-tenney-votes-prevent-federal-funds-being-used-house-illegal"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3876529410481453, "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"}
