DHS also guards against cyber warfare through network security. electronic crimes investigations. and State and local cybercrime training. So it is hard to fathom delaying $861 million for cyber security the same day we learn about the massive cyber attack against Anthem Blue Cross. A number of key national security programs unrelated to immigration would also be in danger. These include the Federal Air Marshal Service. the Secret Service. the Transportation Security Administration. and DHS intelligence activities. Ironically. blocking this bill over immigration riders would also delay increased funding for border patrols and more manpower to combat human smuggling and trafficking. which so many Members of this Congress want. Holding up this bill will also delay and reduce more than $2.5 billion in grants for State and local law enforcement agencies and emergency responders. This puts our country in jeopardy. These grants help with transit and port security. firefighter assistance. and State homeland security. Make no mistake. the Department of Homeland Security is very active in securing our borders and deporting dangerous individuals. It has a wonderful Secretary. I think every Member of this body appreciates Jeh Johnson and knows the role he played with managing the sudden influx of children into our country on the southern border.
