Dr. Bucshon Rejects House Democrats’ Political Show Vote, Supports President Trump’s Effort to Secure the Border


(Washington, D.C.) –
Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (IN-08) released the following statement after voting against House Democrats’ legislative measure to cancel the emergency declaration declared by President Trump to secure the border (H.J. Res 46):

“Today, Democrats held a show vote to cancel President Trump’s recently issued emergency declaration, which he declared only after Washington Democrats blocked Republican efforts in Congress to provide much-needed funding to secure our southern border. This is just more political theater showing that Washington Democrats are seemingly more concerned about opposing President Trump than supporting policies that put the safety and security of our communities first and address the humanitarian crisis taking place along our southern border.”
