Chairman. I rise in support of the Blackburn amendment today. The amendment prevents funding from going towards the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. known as DACA. Make no mistake about it. this program has become a magnet for drawing children from Central America. further putting thousands of childrens lives at risk as they embark on a very dangerous journey. which does not only include unsafe conditions. but they are also vulnerable to abuse along the way. This program must be shut down. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle are not telling the American people that Homeland Security is fully funded. As a matter of fact. it has funded more than $1 billion than the President asked for and more than $400 million from last year. If Homeland Security gets shut down. it is because the President vetoes the budget because he cannot get his way on amnesty for illegal aliens.
