Madam Speaker. this bill can cause grievous harm to the Department of Homeland Security by funding it until only February of next year. and it really does endanger the Nations safety and security because they are the people who provide border security and the TSA. I have said this in the pastbut it bears repeatingthat funding the government in tranches weakens. destabilizes. and undermines our Nation. The majoritys insistence on punishing the President for his executive order on immigration by toying with the funding for the Department of Homeland Security. of all things. is troubling. This maneuver will hinder how we train new officers. how we guard the border. and it will endanger the Nations airports. but the most egregious provisions of this bill strike at the very soul of our democracy. A lastminute. nongermane addition would fundamentally change our Republic.
