December 17, 2023

The Honorable John Barrasso

Chairman

Senate Republican Conference

Dear Senator Barrasso:

 

We write to request that you call a meeting of the Conference to discuss Senate negotiations on securing the border. Rushed and secret negotiations with Democrats who want an open border and who caused the current crisis will not secure the border.  The American public deserves an open and transparent process which cannot occur until the House returns the week of January 8, 2024.  Accordingly, we request this Conference be held the week of January 8th, but not before.
