The bill provides funding for the Disaster Relief Fund. When disaster strikes. it is important that the Disaster Relief Fund contain the resources necessary to support an effective response. The bill also includes House amendments designed to reverse the Presidents unilateral actions on immigration enforcement. Given the timing and breadth of the Presidents actions and the challenge to congressional authority those actions represent. it can come as no surprise that they provoked a congressional response. I am speaking to remind Senators of the urgent and important need we have for the adoption of funding for the Department of Homeland Security and other provisions this bill contains.
