Speech #1140007605

So it is unbelievable. really. that our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are trying to contend that the majority Republicans in Congress. in both Houses. are trying to block funding from the Department of Homeland Security when nothing could be farther from the truth. Look at todays CNN headline. This is on their Web site: "Democrats Block Funding for DHS to Protect Obamas Immigration Orders." Why are they blocking it? To protect Obamas immigration orders that are contrary to Congresss will. clearly overwhelmingly rejected by the American people. and contrary to law. Why should Congress fund unlawful activities? Why should it fund policies it does not approve of?
