I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Chairwoman. I want to make it clear that I support the original bipartisan Homeland Security bill and oppose the majoritys radical antiimmigrant amendments. These amendments pollute the bipartisan bill both Republicans and Democrats have carefully crafted to protect the American people. Our clean Homeland Security bill provides the funds needed to protect our country. It invests in border security and prioritizes the detention and deportation of dangerous criminals. The clean. bipartisan Homeland Security bill provides funds for new grants to State and local first responders. who are our first line of defense against homegrown terrorism. It invests in the Coast Guards eighth National Security Cutter and additional Fast Response Cutters to help protect our ports.
