Our nation is less than three days away from a Monica De La Cruz-manufactured government shutdown, and House Republicans have all but abandoned any hope of averting one to pursue their extreme agenda that attacks Texas’s border patrol agents and middle-class families.
This De La Cruz-manufactured shutdown impacts:
-
Border Patrol Agents and border security personnel forced to work without pay.
-
Over 2,500 federally backed home loans may be delayed every day a shutdown goes on.
-
Small business owners attempting to apply for federal loans to keep their businesses going.
-
Federal efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and fight dangerous fentanyl trafficking, directly impeding law enforcement’s ability to stop the deadly flow of fentanyl across our Southern Border.
-
FEMA’s ability to review and approve applications for aid after a major disaster – including applications for individual assistance – during hurricane season and an unprecedented wildfire season could be severely restricted and delayed.
-
Essential workers – like firefighters, law enforcement officers, and members of the armed forces – would be forced to put their lives on the line without any pay.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Monica De La Cruz is enabling extreme MAGA Republicans to shut down the government and force thousands of Texas’s border patrol agents to go unpaid. No matter how much she says otherwise, the De La Cruz-manufactured shutdown will harm Texas families, small businesses, and economy – and we’ll make it clear to the American public who’s to blame for all the chaos and dysfunction.”
