WASHINGTON, D.C. – – Today, America First Works (AFW) released the following statement condemning congressional Democrats for blocking a clean CR, shutting down the government, and prioritizing illegal immigrants over Americans:
“Last night, Democrats did what they do best: put Americans last. They shut down the government all because they couldn’t get free healthcare for illegal aliens and $1.5 trillion in new leftist spending. Now, Americans throughout the country will feel the hurt. From those in need of assistance, such as low-income families and veterans, to our troops, law enforcement officers, and firefighters, they voted against them all. It’s time for Democrats to stop putting illegals first and start representing the American people they supposedly represent. A clean CR must be passed immediately, without delay.”
