Today, Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06) released the following statement on the Trump Administration's decision to transfer funds appropriated to U.S. military construction projects to pay for his border wall.
"Right now, I'm at the U.S.- Mexico border hearing directly from our nation's servicemembers and border patrol agents, and the number one need being expressed to me is more CBP personnel - not a wall. While our troops are being used to backfill personnel shortages at the border, the administration now plans to cut billions in defense projects, further impacting our military's readiness.

Rep. Jason Crow (CO-06) helped introduced the Foreign Influence Reporting in Elections (FIRE) Act, a bill that would help prevent foreign interference in U.S. elections by requiring political campaigns to report attempts by foreigners to influence U.S. elections to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and then the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). While it is illegal to accept campaign donations or assistance from foreign entities, the FIRE Act stipulates that any foreign nationals attempting to make campaign contributions or offer information or coordination must be reported to federal authorities within a week. This bill would apply to all campaigns –– from presidential to state and local races.
Today, Rep. Jason Crow, co-chair of the New Democrat Infrastructure Task Force, along with Reps. Stacey Plaskett, Elissa Slotkin, and Salud Carbajal, led a letter with 70 House members to President Trump urging him to recommit to working with Congress on comprehensive and bipartisan legislation to bring America's infrastructure into the 21st Century. Modernizing America's aging infrastructure is essential to creating jobs, spurring economic growth, and increasing our global competitiveness.
On Monday, Representative Jason Crow (CO-06), along with Representatives Diana DeGette (CO-01), Ed Perlmutter (CO-07), and Joe Neguse (CO-02), visited the Aurora Contract Detention Facility as part of Crow's weekly congressional oversight visits.
The Aurora immigration detention center is lacking top medical staff, according to a handful of Colorado congressional Democrats who toured the facility on Monday.
Crow, who announced earlier this month he or his staff would be touring the center weekly for oversight purposes, was joined by Colorado Democratic congress members Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse and Ed Perlmutter.
"Many of the senior positions in the health unit, including the top two positions, are currently vacant, as well as psychologists," Crow said in a news conference following the tour. "And these vacancies, we believe, are causing some of these delays in adequate medical attention."
