CHC Calls for Comprehensive Funding Resolution

Washington, D.C. - The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) urges the House to support a funding resolution that addresses all of our nation's most pressing issues:

"CHC will support a funding resolution that finally includes the desperately needed necessities which thousands of Americans rely on. We cannot continuously kick the can down the road on funding to protect our military and care for our veterans. We need adequate funding for the disaster relief effort still ongoing in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, California, Texas, and Florida. CHC Members strongly believe any funding resolution must also include a permanent legislative solution to protect Dreamers, and provide crucial funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program and community health centers that serve children, seniors and working families. These and many more issues are being once again pushed aside by Republicans in what would be a fourth short-term funding resolution."
