So this is not about that. It is very simple. The majority could very quickly pass the funding for Homeland Security to keep us safe and immediately go to the issue of immigration. and I would support it wholeheartedly. as would colleagues on this side of the aisle. Here is what we dont support: holding the security of our country hostage while others debate policy. frankly. that was already agreed to by the majority of the Senate last year. Regardless of your feelings about the immigration policies. if you ask folks at this time. when terror threats are all around us. do they want games being played with the funding of our homeland security. the answer would be noa resounding no. So lets get on with the business in a bipartisan way of funding our national security effort. and then lets immediately go to a vigorous and important debate about immigration. I would agree that should be done as soon as possible. Since the attacks of 9111 in 2001. we have had a Department of Homeland Security that we organized and put together to play a critical role in protecting America against acts of terror.
