Mr. Speaker. I rise today in opposition to H.R. 240. the FY2015 Homeland Security Appropriations bill. which included the adoption of five antiimmigrant amendments. By including these policy riders. my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have decided to hold hostage and disrupt funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Failure to promptly fund the Department of Homeland Security puts our country at risk. At the end of last year. House and Senate Appropriators came to a compromise agreement on funding for the Department of Homeland Security at a level of $39.67 billion. $1.5 billion above the Presidents request.
