I said $8.5 billion. but it looks like it is $10 billion in total that is supposed to go to the Coast Guard. But it is being held up by this continuing resolution. We have to ask ourselves: What is stopping us from funding the Coast Guard properly so they can protect us? How about Customs and Border Protection: There are $12.5 billion for Customs and Border Protection to secure U.S. air. land. and sea borders. safeguard and streamline lawful trade and travel. and disrupt and dismantle transnational. criminal. and terrorist organizations. The list goes on and on. What is it that is holding up this appropriation?
