These are just a few examples of why this bill is so important. Unfortunately. instead of bringing the clean. bipartisan bill for a vote. the majority is proposing several poison pill amendments that will jeopardize the bills ability to become law. It is unconscionable to put our Nations security at risk simply for the purpose of appeasing those who want to undermine President Obamas reasonable and lawful executive action to fix our broken immigration system in light of the fact that this House has not acted. Current funding for DHS is set to run out at the end of February. The recent horrors in Paris are the latest reminder of why America needs Congress to pass the negotiated bipartisan Homeland Security bill that can become law and defeat the antiimmigrant poison pill amendments being proposed by the majority. I urge my colleagues to vote "no" on the amendments and to vote "yes" on the original bill to protect the homeland. and I reserve the balance of my time.
