Washington, D.C. – Congressman Nathaniel Moran (R-TX-01) released the following statement after voting to fund the government on Wednesday evening: “Today, House Republicans took decisive action to fund the government for the remainder of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. By passing this continuing resolution that maintains government operations without increasing the spending of taxpayer dollars, we are keeping our commitment to rein in spending while ensuring that the Trump Administration can continue its ongoing and critical efforts to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington—protecting your hard-earned tax dollars.
“Crucially, this funding also addresses shortfalls related to immigration enforcement operations and keeps the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on the job, deporting criminal migrants and strengthening border security. By keeping the government running, we can focus on enacting real, lasting immigration reforms.
“Ideally, we should pass our annual appropriations bills without the need for a continuing resolution. But, at this moment, it is important to focus our efforts on delivering a tax bill through the reconciliation process that will have greater long-term impact and benefit for the American taxpayer and then turn our attention to FY 2026 appropriations.
“In contrast, nearly every House Democrat voted against this measure, choosing political obstruction over responsible governance. Their actions threaten small businesses, delay critical relief, and prioritize partisan theater over the needs of hardworking Americans. House Republicans remain committed to securing the border, cutting wasteful spending, and standing with President Trump to put America First. We will continue working to advance conservative budget priorities and restore law and order.”
