DEMOCRATS FOR BORDER SECURITY TASK FORCE APPLAUDS FY24 HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING
BILL

March 22, 2024
Press Release

WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Reps. Henry Cuellar (TX-28), Tom Suozzi (NY-03), Colin
Allred (TX-32), Greg Stanton (AZ-04), Jim Costa (CA-21), Lizzie Fletcher
(TX-07), Dina Titus (NV-01), Steven Horsford (NV-04), Susan Wild (PA-07), Jared
Golden (ME-02), Gabe Vasquez (NM-02), Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15), Mike Levin
(CA-49), Wiley Nickel (NC-13), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06), Chris Pappas (NH-01),
Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Susie Lee (NV-03), Matt Cartwright (PA-08), Mike
Thompson (CA-04), Pat Ryan (NY-18), and Emilia Sykes (OH-13), members of the
newly formed Democrats for Border Security Task Force, issued a joint statement
after the FY24 Homeland Security Appropriations bill passed the House:

“We launched the Democrats for Border Security Task Force last week for a simple
reason – to enact common sense border security policy and deliver for the
American people.

“To that end, this bipartisan package includes a thoughtful, measured Homeland
Security funding bill that will help in securing the southern border, but much
more needs to be done.

“Specifically, the 2024 Homeland Security Appropriations bill contains:

 1. $495 million to fund a record number of 22,000 Border Patrol Agents
 2. $125 million for increases to Border Patrol overtime pay authorized by the
    National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)
 3. $20 million for an additional 150 CBP Officers to support counter fentanyl
    efforts
 4. $283.5 million for new border security technology to secure the border
 5. $103.5 million to sustain current border security technology, including
    Autonomous Security Towers, cross-border tunnel detection, and Non-Intrusive
    Inspection equipment to detect fentanyl
 6. $650 million for the Shelter and Services Grant Program to provide funding
    to nonprofits and NGOs as they assist migrants awaiting the outcome of their
    immigration proceedings
 7. $81 million for Operation Stonegarden to provide federal resources to local
    law enforcement agencies in border communities
 8. $1 billion increase for all Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
    personnel to sustain pay equity investments started last year

“We are pleased that this bill provides robust funding for technology and
personnel to combat the deadly fentanyl epidemic, which affects all our
districts across the country.

“In addition, we support the record funding increase for the U.S. Border Patrol,
which includes $125 million for increases to agents' overtime pay. This will be
crucial for Border Patrol’s efforts to hire and retain qualified agents to keep
our communities safe.

“However, even with these investments, Congress needs to pass a bipartisan
border security bill.

“We continue to call on the House Majority to consider the Senate bipartisan
border security agreement, which would provide DHS with the necessary policy and
funding changes to secure our border as well as bring relief to our agencies,
personnel, and border communities.”
