WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) issued the following statement after voting yes on the Senate budget:
“77 million Americans delivered a mandate when they voted for President Trump on November 5th. They want President Trump’s agenda, and they want it now. A critical part of the President’s agenda is immediately securing the border and stopping the flow of terrorists, cartels, and lethal drugs into this country. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Border Czar Tom Homan, encounters at the border have plummeted. But we need to make sure the administration has the funding they need to finish the wall, support law enforcement, and detain and deport criminals. For those reasons, I voted yes on the Senate budget.
Now, we can get to work on delivering the President’s economic mandate to lower taxes, rein in spending, and get the American economy booming again.”
Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate and is a member of the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, HELP, and Aging Committees.
