RANKING MEMBER CORREA STATEMENT ON BIDEN’S 2024 BUDGET

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, following the release of President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Proposal, Representative Lou Correa (CA-46), Ranking Member of the Border Security Subcommittee, released the following statement:

“I appreciate President Biden’s push, through this budget proposal, to invest in safe, orderly, and humane immigration and border security,” said Ranking Member Correa. “But in light of recent reports related to migrant family detention, it is my sincere hope that the President will put the weight of the bully pulpit to use—to not only address the humanitarian crisis at our southern border, but to tackle the root causes of migration through actual, and meaningful, immigration reform.”

“I know my colleagues in Congress are ready to roll up our sleeves and build bipartisan bridges to accomplish this goal,” Correa concluded. “And I hope that President Biden will, too.”
