Shockingly. this week. Republicans. rather than taking steps to strengthen the DHS. will take steps to actually weaken it. They will do so by holding the Department hostage to their politics on immigration. They will offer five amendments to politicize the DHS at a time when we need it to be its professional best. They have placed their ideological agenda ahead of paychecks. Now. they are placing their ideological agenda ahead of our protection. Mr. Speaker. if they want to pass an immigration bill. pass one. If they want to politicize issues. do it on another issue. but not the Department of Homeland Security. Do not jeopardize the safety of the American people with a political stunt and not this week. after terrorists murdered innocent ci vilians in France.
