Occurrences

Before the end of the 115th Congress, we must send a bill to President Trump’s desk that finally secures our border with a wall and by ending “catch and release” and chain migration policies that encourage illegal immigration.

Gosar commits to advancing legislation by the end of the 115th Congress to fund and enact a border wall and end catch-and-release and chain-migration policies.

The promise was to help send President Trump a bill before the end of the 115th Congress that funded or secured a border wall and ended catch-and-release and chain migration. The closest comprehensive 115th Congress bill, H.R. 6136, failed in the House, and the late H.R. 695 wall-funding vehicle advanced in the House but was not sent to the President before the Congress ended. Gosar did take serious legislative action, including supporting wall-funding efforts and voting for the late House vehicle, but the promised enacted or President-bound bill did not materialize within the promised term.
