Are we going to prioritize the safety and security of the American people or are we going to put the country at risk because of an ideological disagreement? That is the choice we face with this bill. We can debate immigration. I think Members of the Democratic caucus would be happy to do that. The Senate did that 2 years ago when we passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill with 68 bipartisan votes. But this is not the time for us to have this debate. We need to fund the Department of Homeland Security now so they can continue to do their work.
