Reconciliation Bill - Vote No

To: Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Cruz

From: A constituent in La Grange, TX

May 8

Please vote NO on the new reconciliation bill. I do not support using budget reconciliation to push through tens of billions of dollars in immigration enforcement and security spending without the fuller debate and accountability that a bill of this size deserves. This bill would add roughly $72 billion in new spending, much of it directed toward ICE, CBP, DHS, DOJ, and the Secret Service. That is not a small adjustment. It is a major funding package, and it should not be rushed through on a party-line process. As your constituent, I am asking you to oppose this bill for the following reasons: 1. It adds major new spending while many Texas families are still struggling with the cost of housing, food, health care, insurance, and utilities. 2. It gives broad funding to immigration enforcement agencies without enough public oversight, limits, or accountability. 3. It uses reconciliation to avoid the normal level of bipartisan debate a bill of this size should receive. 4. It prioritizes political messaging over practical help for working families, small businesses, veterans, seniors, and rural communities. 5. It risks expanding federal enforcement power without answering basic questions about cost, due process, waste, and long-term impact. Texas needs responsible budgeting, not blank-check spending hidden inside a fast-track bill. Please vote NO on this reconciliation bill.
