OMAHA, NE – Congressman Don Bacon (NE-02) released a statement regarding the President’s offer to re-open the government and his commitment to work on border security:

“The President has stepped up to the plate by agreeing to reopen the government and laying a framework for what is needed to secure our nation’s borders. It is time for Speaker Pelosi and other Democrat leaders to negotiate in good faith a bi-partisan permanent solution that includes border security, along with funding for 234 miles of barriers along the border. We need strong border security and a modernized immigration policy as our end result.”
