But in recent days several of my friends across the aisle have spoken on this floor asserting that Republicans are trying to force a Department of Homeland Security shutdown. Nothing could be further from the truth. Essentially. their argument is that unless Republicans choose to completely agree with President Obamas egregious constitutional violation of executive power to implement major changes in our immigration lawsan issue which is clearly the responsibility of the peoples elected representativesthen Republicans will be responsible for any lapse in DHS funding. So to put all this in perspective regarding this situation and the assertion that a few of my colleagues have made. let me give you some thoughts. First. lets remember how we got into this situation to start with.
