WASHINGTON D.C. – On June 21, Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) led the House Appropriations Committee full committee markup for the fiscal year (FY) 2024 Homeland Security bill. Congressman Joyce is the primary author of this funding bill as Chairman for the Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

Watch his full opening remarks here.

“Over the last two and a half years, the Biden Administration has turned our southern border into pure chaos. Their policies and funding priorities have clearly not worked,” said Congressman Joyce. “As Chairman of this Subcommittee, my priority is to ensure that the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who work tirelessly on our behalf, have the resources and tools they need to protect this great nation. Unlike recent Homeland Security appropriations bills, and the President’s FY24 request to Congress, this bill returns to a tried-and-true border security approach by investing in methods to both secure the border and deter those who have no legitimate basis for entry.”

“I want to thank Chairman Joyce for his hard work on this bill. It provides what is needed to protect our homeland and address the ongoing crisis at our border,” said House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger in her opening remarks.
