Congressman Keith Self Votes No on Continuing Resolution

Today, Congressman Keith Self made a decisive vote against the latest Continuing Resolution, joining 105 House Republicans in opposition. The legislation, which lacked any provisions for border security, was deemed unacceptable by constituents in Texas.

Congressman Self expressed his concerns about the dire consequences of not taking action to secure the border. He stated, "Unless we take a stand to secure our border, America's sovereignty will remain in jeopardy." He went on to criticize the Biden administration for what he considers the worst border crisis in history, with over eight million illegal crossings and 1.7 million known "gotaways" during President Biden's tenure.

According to Congressman Self, the Biden administration's border policies pose a significant threat to the nation's safety. He emphasized that the Continuing Resolution in question does nothing to address border security or curb the alarming trajectory of excessive spending.

The Congressman's decision to vote against the Continuing Resolution aligns with his commitment to the well-being and security of his constituents. Recognizing the urgent need for border security, Congressman Self took a principled stance against a bill that failed to address this critical issue.

This vote reflects the ongoing debate regarding the best approach to tackle border security and federal spending. While some argue that a Continuing Resolution is necessary to avoid a government shutdown, others, like Congressman Self, contend that it is essential to prioritize securing the border and reigning in excessive spending.

As the debate continues, Congressman Keith Self has made it clear that he stands firmly in favor of comprehensive border security measures and fiscal responsibility. His vote against the Continuing Resolution is a testament to his dedication to the interests of his constituents and his unwavering commitment to addressing the pressing challenges facing the nation.
