WASHINGTON - House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain delivered remarks at the GOP Leadership Press Conference:

As prepared for delivery:

 Again and again, Democrats have chosen illegal aliens over hardworking Americans.

Democrats let millions of illegals pour across our border under Joe Biden. Democrats gave them driver’s licenses and allowed them to cast ballots in our elections. 
 
And now, Democrats are fighting to give illegals healthcare – on your dime. These aren’t opinions. These are the facts.
 
When Democrats have the choice between standing up for the American people or catering to illegal aliens, they choose the illegals very single time. And that’s exactly what they’re doing again in this government shutdown fight.

Democrats are putting illegals above citizens.
 
So, I ask Democrats: How long will it take for you to put Americans First in this funding debate? How many times will you vote against our troops? How many times will you vote against moms and babies who rely on WIC? Against flood insurance? 

How many times will you vote to put illegal aliens first and Americans last?
 
The truth is simple: as long as their radical base keeps calling the shots.
 
Republicans, however, are putting America First every day. Why? Because that’s our job.  That’s our duty.  That’s our responsibility. 

I call on Democrats to do the same.
