I was unable to support the final bill due to a number of troubling amendments. I am strongly in favor of funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). especially with the risk of terrorism we currently face as a nation. I applaud many sections of the DHS funding bill. including increased funding from FY 2014 for Customs & Border Patrol (CBP). the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). However. there are a number of amendments added to this bill which run the risk of tearing families apart. and I could not support the final bill.
