You have got Health and Human Services. who takes custody of minors that comes in and ships them all over the country. You have got Social Security that is going to be issuing Social Security numbers. You have got the Department of Justice and CJS for immigration court processing. You have got HUD for housing. There are a lot of issues here. and as somebody once said. you should never take a hostage that the other person you are trying to influence by taking hostage is willing for you to shoot. It doesnt do you much good to take a hostage that the other side wants you to shoot. We need to be concerned that if we say. "All right. We are not funding the Department of Homeland Security until you cease this illegal and unconstitutional action." the President might say. "So you mean youre not going to fund the Border Patrol? In other words. youre going to leave the border wide open. so that anybody wants to come in. can. And thats your threat.
