Republicans in the House. when we did the budget bill. insisted that we would fund the entire Federal Government through September 30. except for the Department of Homeland Security. The reason they withheld regular budget funding for that Department was they wanted to make a political point. They are angered at President Obama for stepping forward with Executive orders on the issue of immigration. even though the same House Republicans have refused for over a year and a half to call the comprehensive immigration reform bill that passed this Senate on a bipartisan basis and refused for over a year and a half to address any aspect of immigration. In a fit of pique they said: We are so angry President Obama is going to do something by way of Executive order. we are going to withhold regular funding from the Department that protects America from terrorism. What were they thinking?
