The legislation also funds critical programs Republicans have been
fighting for: It strengthens our military with an increase in defense
spending, enabling the purchase of new warships, aircraft, and weapons. It provides a meaningful increase in salary to our uniform personnel. It provides additional funds to thwart the global war on terror and
fight ISIS. It is part of an overall $1.52 billion increase in resources for
border security, meaning more agents, enhanced technology, updated
infrastructure to stem the flow of illegal aliens and drug activity
across our border. It includes funds to fight the opioid epidemic,
funding grants, treatment, and prevention efforts. It also provides
increased funds for the National Institutes of Health to continue
disease research that impacts every family.
