Chairman Graham Releases Homeland Security Reconciliation Text

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, today released the legislative text for the Homeland Security portion of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees’ title of the reconciliation bill. This text meets the border security funding request from President Trump and his administration.

“Senate Republicans had a terrific briefing today from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller in support of President Trump’s border security request.

“As Budget Chairman, I will do my best to ensure that the President’s border security plan is fully funded because I believe it has been fully justified. I respectfully disagree with Chairman Paul’s proposal to cut the Trump plan by more than 50 percent.

“The President promised to secure our border. His plan fulfills that promise. The Senate must do our part.”
