[Congressional Quarterly, 3/21/24]
The Homeland Security Bill Increased Funding For Customs Detention Beds And Border Patrol Agents While Decreasing Aid To Migrants By Almost 20 Percent. According to Congressional Quarterly, "That measure included a significant increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention beds, from 34,000 in current law (PL 117-328) to 41,500 in this bill, as well as increased funding for U.S. Border Patrol agents. House Homeland Security Appropriations Chairman David Joyce, R-Ohio, said the bill is good for Republicans, who received 'a lot of concessions' from Democrats. 'It's not everything I wanted, but it's a good bill,' he said. Democrats did successfully zero out money for the border wall in the legislation, which House Homeland Security Appropriations ranking member Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, heralded as his 'biggest priority. While Cueller said he wished the bill could have maintained the current funding level for the nongovernmental organizations providing aid to migrants, House Republicans had sought steeper cuts than the nearly 20 percent reduction that ended up in the bill.'" [Congressional Quarterly, 3/21/24]
The Bill Banned Obligating Pre-Existing Funds For UNRWA Through FY 2025 And Did Not Include Any FY 2024 Funding. According to Congressional Quarterly, "One provision progressives are unhappy with is the bill's continued block on funding for UNRWA. The Biden administration blocked funding for the organization following Israel's allegations that UNRWA workers participated in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. The law bans obligating pre-existing funds for the agency through March 2025 and does not include any fiscal 2024 funding for the agency, a top priority of House State-Foreign Operations Appropriations Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla. Congressional Democrats, however, had argued that UNRWA is the only organization able to provide Gaza the amount of aid it needs. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said he would vote against the package due to the provision, which he said would lead to famine in Gaza. 'America should not be indifferent to children dying of dehydration and starvation because of man-made famine,' Khanna, another Progressive Caucus member, said. 'And there's no way to have aid distributed into Gaza without that distribution system.'" [Congressional Quarterly, 3/21/24]
Conservatives Objected To Various Earmarks, Including Funding For A Youth Services Organization That Provides LGBTQ Youth With Gender-Affirming Clothing. According to Congressional Quarterly, "Senate and House conservatives were, predictably, also unhappy with the giant spending package. 'Classic DC swamp at it again. Spend, spend, spend. I've had it!' Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., wrote Thursday on X, formerly Twitter. Norman laid out some earmarks in the package that he objected to, including a $400,000 project secured by Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis. for Briarpatch Youth Services in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, an organization that helps homeless and at-risk youth. The organization provides gender-affirming clothing to LGBTQ teens, which Norman objects to." [Congressional Quarterly, 3/21/24]
2024: Schweikert Voted Against The First Half Of The FY 2024 Consolidated Appropriations. In March 2024, Schweikert voted against , according to Congressional Quarterly, "the resolution (H Res 1061) that would provide for the House to concur in the Senate amendment to the legislative vehicle (HR 4366) with an amendment that would provide $467.5 billion in total funding for six, full-year spending bills for fiscal 2024. MILITARY CONSTRUCTION-VA: Together with funds appropriated in the fiscal 2023 bill and the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, it would provide $346.7 billion for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies, including $18.7 billion for military construction initiatives, $135.25 billion in discretionary funding and $172.5 billion in mandatory funding for the VA. AGRICULTURE: It would provide $26.3 billion in discretionary funding to the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration and related agencies. It also would provide a total of $7.03 billion to fully fund the Women, Infants and Children nutrition assistance program, an increase of $4.03 billion over fiscal 2023. COMMERCE, JUSTICE, and SCIENCE: It would provide $81.8 billion in discretionary spending for the Commerce, Justice and Science programs, including $10.83 billion for Commerce Department programs and $37.5 billion for Justice Department programs. It also would provide $24.9 billion for NASA. ENERGY-WATER: It would provide $58.2 billion in discretionary funding for Energy and Water and related agencies funding, including $50.2 billion for the Energy Department and $8.7 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers. INTERIOR-ENVIRONMENT: It would provide $38.6 billion discretionary spending for the Interior Department, EPA and related agencies. It also would provide $2.6 billion under a separate wildfire suppression cap adjustment. TRANSPORTATION-HUD: It would provide $103 billion in discretionary spending for federal transportation and housing programs." The vote was on passage. The House passed the bill by a vote of 339 to 85, thus it was sent to the Senate. The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 75 to 22 and was signed into law by President Biden. [House Vote 64, 3/6/24; Congressional Quarterly, 3/6/24; Congressional Actions, H.R. 4366]
The Bill Increased Overall Funding By $1.5 Billion From FY 2023 While Cutting All Non-Discretionary, Non-VA Funding. According to Congressional Quarterly, "The first grouping would provide a $1.5 billion increase, or 0.3 percent, over the comparable enacted fiscal 2023 level (PL 117-328), though even that slim boost is somewhat of an accounting trick. It technically ignores $2 billion in increased fiscal 2023 Energy Department spending offset by tapping unused Strategic Petroleum Reserve funds, for example. And after backing out veterans health care, all other nondefense programs would be cut slightly below the previous year's level --- something GOP leaders have been touting as a selling point within their conference. 'We only control half of one-third of the federal government, so we have to be realistic about what we are able to achieve,' Johnson, R-La., said Wednesday. 'But in spite of that, we have an appropriations package that is going to cut non-defense, non-VA discretionary spending.' The Agriculture bill remains flat under the legislation, and the Commerce-Justice-Science and Interior-Environment bills would both see cuts of around 3 percent. Agencies ranging from EPA to the National Science Foundation to the Justice Department face hefty reductions from the prior year." [Congressional Quarterly, 3/6/24]
The Bill Contained A Provision That Overturned A Law That Prohibited Veterans Deemed Incompetent Of Managing Their Finances From Purchasing Guns And Ammunition. According to Congressional Quarterly, "That provision would overturn a 1993 law which prevents veterans deemed incompetent to manage their finances by the Department of Veterans Affairs from purchasing guns and ammunition. Under the new language, such veterans seeking to buy firearms could get a judicial hearing." [Congressional Quarterly, 3/6/24]
Republicans Removed Funding For A Philadelphia LGBTQ Center From The Bill. According to Congressional Quarterly, "A $1 million earmark that would fund the renovation of a LGBTQ community center in Pennsylvania was stripped from the six-bill spending package under consideration this week after backlash from Republicans threatened to sink the legislation. The earmark that would support Philadelphia's William Way LGBT Community Center was initially included in the fiscal 2024 spending package (HR 4366), but has been removed from the latest list of 'congressionally directed spending' projects.
