Arrington Statement on End of Government Shutdown
Washington, DC,
January 22, 2018
Following a vote by the House and Senate to end the government shutdown, Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) released the following statement:
“I am glad to know Senate Democrats have retreated from their ill-conceived and outrageous demand we shut down our government, disrupt our military, and halt funding for other important obligations over amnesty for people who entered our country illegally.
“Nothing was gained by anyone, including DACA recipients, as a result of the Democrat shutdown. This was an enormous waste of the American people’s time and money. Now Congress can resume its work on behalf of our citizens to solve the problems facing our country - funding our military, securing our border, and reducing the cost of health care.”
