Speech #1140008392

Many Democrats here in the Senate Chamber. as well as an Independent. have expressed their reservations and their concerns about how the President has proceeded. Democrats are right to be concerned. which makes it particularly troubling that Democrats are now trying to shut down the Department of Homeland Security to protect the Presidents overreach because. make no mistake. Democrats are refusing to fund the Department of Homeland Security unless funding is provided for the Presidents unconstitutional attempt to make his own immigration laws. If Democrats dont like this bill. they should vote to debate the measure and offer amendments to fix the parts they dont like. Republicans are ready and willing to entertain Democrats amendments.
