Madam President. I come today to support legislation to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security. without any extraneous or politically controversial policy riders. Let me be clear. The immigration provisions that are approved in the House are bill killers. We have now had three votes on cloture. The votes have held steady. It is clear the votes are not here to pass a bill out of the Senate with the riders attached to it. I just want to speak of the importance of the Department of Homeland Security because I was in the Senate when the Department was developed.
