What concerns me most is that it could force truck drivers. who have one of the most grueling jobs in the country. to work longer hours. potentially increasing fatigue and putting more people at risk on our roadways. The bill also hobbles the Department of Homeland Security. providing only enough funding to keep it running until February 27 of next year. This is the response by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to the actions the President has taken with respect to immigration. Due to this intransigence. some initiatives to secure the border cannot be funded nor can measures to address the humanitarian crisis of children crossing our Southwest border or security weaknesses at the White House. Even if these faults could be overlooked because of the many positive provisions in the bill. it is. for me. irreparably damaged by two controversial riders that have nothing to do with funding the government.
