An Open Letter
To: Rep. Kean
From: A constituent in Bridgewater, NJ
May 19
I don’t want another penny of my taxpayer dollars to go toward ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans already voted to give them the budget of a small army last year, and now I see you are trying to use the reconciliation process to give them billions more. These goons are making us all LESS safe. Not more.
It is also completely unacceptable that this reconciliation bill includes $1B for trump’s ballroom. It was bad enough when he illegally tore down the East Wing for this dumb vanity project. Now taxpayers are supposed to fund it?? We can’t afford anything. Our debt is larger than our GDP. And we’re supposed to finance a stupid ballroom?!
Enough. Let’s focus on funding education, healthcare, arts, infrastructure, and housing instead of shoveling even more money to these out of control agencies and wasteful vanity projects.
