Yesterday they introduced a clean. fullyear funding bill that has been endorsed by every Democratic Senator. This is the same bipartisan. bicameral bill that was negotiated by the House and the Senate last year. This agreement includes critical assistance. critical increases in funding for our border security. cyber security. air and maritime surveillance. and biological and explosive detection at our borders. All of these things keep us safe at a time when we know that terrorism is a more real threat than ever. not just to the United States but to our partner countries all around the world. Last week. the Senate unanimously passed a resolution I was proud to have written. declaring that we stand in solidarity with the people in France. that we mourn the loss of innocent victims and condemn the atrocity of these attacks. I submit that just as important as our words. which we all came together to support. are our deeds. Will our response now be to engage in a partisan fight over immigration or do we come together as Republicans and Democrats to fund the law enforcement personnel who are charged with keeping our citizens safe? Next week when we return to this body. I strongly urge my Republican colleagues to quickly bring a clean. bipartisan Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill to the floor.
