You can vote "yes" on this motion to recommit and strengthen fusion centers. or you can vote "no" and have weakened them. How will you explain your vote "no" if a disaster occurs? You can vote "yes" and stand for full and immediate funding of DHS without Washington politics. or you can vote "no" and tell your constituents that being against immigration is more important to you than being for their homeland security. How will you explain that "no" vote to them if disaster occurs again? Republicans are saying that antiimmigration riders on this bill are part of a political compromise. Madam Speaker. we all understand compromise. we all support compromise. but homeland security is the last thing in this body that should be subject to a political compromisenot after the attacks on France. not after 9111 when we pledged to keep the American people safe. not after we stood on the steps of this building committing ourselves to bipartisan cooperation and to do the right thing for our homeland security. Do the right thing. my colleagues. and vote for this motion to recommit and take the politics. the ugly politics. out of keeping the American people safe.
