| https://www.cotton.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=282 | Cotton Statement on the Omnibus Spending Bill | 2015-12-18 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Republican | House | AR | Tom Cotton | C001095 | www.cotton.senate.gov | legacy | December 18, 2015 Contact: Caroline Rabbitt (202) 224-2353 Washington, D.C.- Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the omnibus spending bill: "A rotten process yields a rotten result, and this 2,000-page, trillion-dollar bill is rotten to its core, resulting from secret, backroom negotiations and getting dumped in the dead of the night on Americans with barely two days before the vote. Corporate lobbyists had a field day, but working Americans lost out. Take just one sordid example: this bill will quadruple the number of foreign guest-worker visas at a time when millions of Americans are still looking for full-time work and working-class wages remain stagnant. "It's especially disappointing that the new House leadership, in fewer than two months on the job, broke its promise not to bring major immigration legislation to the floor this year. One must wonder how many other promises in the Capitol have an expiration date. But one need not wonder why our voters are in open rebellion and our presidential candidates are successfully running against Congress." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
