It is in line with the MurrayRyan budget deal. It will help keep our Nation safe and secure. funding key counterterrorism. intelligence. and law enforcement activities. and will also strengthen the protections on our borders. So our position on this issue is clear: Congress needs to pass a clean. fullyear funding bill without any controversial immigration riders that are not going to be able to gain support. that the President has already said he is going to veto. It is that simple. There is too much at stake for the security of our Nation to play politics with this bill. Before I conclude. I would note again that the Housepassed Department of Homeland Security funding bill includes several immigrationrelated provisions that draw budget points of order against the bill. According to the Congressional Budget Office. the immigrationrelated provisions would increase the deficit by $7.5 billion over 10 years. In addition. the bill includes language relating to the budgetary treatment of these provisions. The result is multiple points of order that would not apply to the bill if the immigration provisions had not been added. Mr. President.
