This must not be an either-or choice: National security
requires strength at home and opportunities for our next
generation, not the elimination of the funding they need to
create those opportunities. In addition, the well-being of the nation is further
undermined in this bill by the inclusion of ideological
poison pill policy riders. We particularly object to the
inclusion of funding for an ill-conceived and mean-spirited
border wall that is unrelated to any of the four
appropriations bills included in the minibus. As the defense portion of this bill violates the Budget
Control Act, the increases in funding proposed by this bill
are imaginary. The cuts this bill proposes are not.
