Rush (D-Ill.), released the following statement on the passage of H.R. 695, the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019: The President of the United States lied to the American people when he campaigned on the farce that Mexico would pay for the wall. Now he is attempting to force taxpayers to fund his immoral, expensive, and ineffective border wall. House Republican Leadership should be embarrassed that they have caved to the demands of an incompetent, irrational, and ignorant President. Instead, they have pursued a process that will trigger a government shutdown by sending a radical bill back to the Senate that they know will not pass. House Republicans should not be allowed to hold our government hostage simply because they are afraid of what Fox News will say about their actions. History will judge these feckless Republicans who are steering our nation right into Trump's Shutdown. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
