So they can attach poison pill amendments to the Homeland Security Appropriations bill. We had a perfectly fine bipartisan bill ready to go last year. but no. the Republicans would rather play Russian roulette with our homeland security. They are being driven by the most extreme antiimmigrant voices in the Republican caucus. So we are going to waste at least this entire week and maybe even more weeks to come debating ugly antiimmigrant amendments that are likely dead on arrival in the Senate and will most certainly be vetoed by the President. I say to my Republican friends: I get it. You cant stand this President. and it is making you irrational to the point that you are doing real harm to this country. And I understand that you would rather tear immigrant families apart than keep them together. But you had the opportunity last Congressfor months and months and monthsto legislate on this issue. You chose not to.
