Rep. Barry Moore supports Homeland Security Appropriations Act
Washington, D.C.- Today, Congressman Barry Moore (AL-02) released a statement after voting in favor of H.R. 8752, the 2025 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act. This legislation would force President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas to focus on securing our southern border and apprehending criminals to protect American families. This bill includes Moore's amendment that demonstrates Congressional disapproval and allows for more oversight of the Transportation Security Administration's new policy that expands the deployment of face scanners for travelers at American airports.
"In just the last month, we've seen numerous cases of Americans raped or murdered by illegals who came across Joe Biden's open border,” said Moore. “Biden wants to give these illegals amnesty so they can vote for him. Our mission in Congress should be to ensure that we secure our border and deport criminals to protect American families and the integrity of our elections. This legislation helps us do that by forcing Biden and Mayorkas to finish the border wall and begin deporting the millions of illegals they have allowed into our country."
The 2025 Homeland Security Appropriations Act:
Provides $600 million for construction of the southern border wall
Forces Secretary Mayorkas to adhere to the law and build physical barriers immediately
Funds 22,000 Border Patrol agents
Provides $300 million for border security technology
Provides $4.1 billion for custody and detention operations, which is more than ever appropriated
Provides funding to procure four additional Coast Guard Fast Response Cutters, including an offshore cutter which will be made at Austal USA in Mobile, Alabama
Provides $4.2 million for increased maritime engagements with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific
Prevents the department from funding critical race theory training
Prevents funding for electric vehicles and related infrastructure, saving taxpayers $30 million
