I rise today to call this House to action. In the opening weeks of the 114th Congress. this Chamber has voted to deport DREAMers and the parents of American citizens. And the House majority continues to put our national security at risk by threatening to shut down the Department of Homeland Security just because they object to the administrations efforts to keep immigrant families together and to deport violent criminals. No matter how you feel about the administrations efforts. we should all recognize that it is time to set aside these partisan games and take substantive action to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill. It is not just the moral thing to do for so many of our friends and neighbors. it is the right thing to do for our economy. for our public safety. and for our country. I will urge House leadership to bring a comprehensive immigration reform bill to the floor for a vote. It is the right thing to do.
