Funding for the Department of Homeland Security expires February 27. We have only 6 legislative days between now and then to pass a clean funding bill. If we fail to pass a bill. 30.000 workers will be furloughed and the rest will work without getting paid. Really? These workers are Border Patrol Agents. TSA security screeners. immigration officers. and members of the Secret Service and Coast Guard. We rely on them to keep us safeand they rely on us to pay them. Shame on the Republican Party for jeopardizing our national security in a misguided attempt to score political points with the extremist wing of their base.
