Congressman Lamborn Votes to Fund the Government and Secure Our Borders

December 20, 2018

Washington D.C. - Today, Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05) voted for the continued resolution on the House floor, averting a government shutdown. An amendment by the House added $5.7 billion for the border wall and $8.7 billion in disaster relief. It passed by a vote of 217-185 with all Democrats voting in opposition. Congressman Lamborn issued the following statement.

"The immigration system in our country is broken. We've seen time and time again the dangers our society has faced as a result of rampant illegal immigration. Tonight, I voted to stand with President Trump and fulfill our promise to the American people to fully fund the wall and secure the border. And now it is time for the Senate to do their job. Securing the border should not be a partisan issue. Our country deserves a secure border and immigration laws that put the safety, security and prosperity of Americans first."
