We should be fully funding Homeland Security in this country. In light of what went on in Paris. in light of September 11. in light of the fact that there are terrorist cells. we need the Department of Homeland Security to be fully funded. If there are differences of opinion with the President on the immigration bill. then that should be fought in an immigration bill. but we shouldnt mix apples with oranges. My mother used to say. "You shouldnt cut off your nose to spite your face." That is exactly what this House did just before: we cut off our nose to spite our face. To prove a point of dissatisfaction with the President. we cut funds for Homeland Security. That is an irresponsible act. and I really wish it would be reversed. We need to fully fund Homeland Security. The fight on immigration is the fight on immigration. Lets not mix apples with oranges. to quote another metaphor. I am terribly disappointed. and I say to my colleagues that the Department of Homeland Security needs to be fully funded.
