English/Español: Rubio: Omnibus Process is Dumb & Bad for America
The 4,155-page, $1.7 trillion omnibus appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2023 passed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 68 to 29, just 60 hours after it was first made available to senators and the public. Democrats defeated multiple Republican-led amendments, including a crucial amendment to secure our southern border, prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to transport illegal immigrants into our communities, and an amendment that would have struck more than $9.8 billion in earmarks.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) opposed the bill.
- “I voted no today because this is a 4,100-page mega-bill, released only hours before voting, and drafted by a small group of senators with no input from the overwhelming majority of the Senate. I voted to start debate on the bill in the hopes we could use the amendment process to move it closer to something that funds a functional government focused on core responsibilities instead of deranged, far-left initiatives. That did not happen, and so I voted no.” — Senator Rubio
El proyecto de ley de asignaciones, más conocido en inglés como ómnibus, de 4,155 páginas y de un monto total de $1.7 billones de dólares para el año fiscal 2023 fue aprobado por el Senado de EE.UU. por una votación de 68 a 29, solo 60 horas después que se puso a disposición de los senadores y el público por primera vez. Los demócratas derrotaron múltiples enmiendas encabezadas por los republicanos, incluyendo una enmienda crucial para asegurar nuestra frontera sur, prohibir que se utilicen dólares de los contribuyentes para transportar migrantes ilegales a nuestras comunidades y una enmienda que habría dado más de $9.8 mil millones en asignaciones.
El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) se opuso al proyecto de ley.
- “Hoy voté no porque este es un mega proyecto de ley de 4,100 páginas, publicado solo unas horas antes de la votación y redactado por un pequeño grupo de senadores sin la participación de la abrumadora mayoría del Senado. Voté para iniciar el debate sobre el proyecto de ley con la esperanza que pudiéramos usar el proceso de enmienda para acercarlo a algo que financie un gobierno funcional centrado en las responsabilidades centrales en vez de iniciativas desquiciadas de extrema izquierda. Eso no sucedió y por eso voté que no”. — Senador Rubio
