"Border security is not free." I couldnt agree more. Yesterday. as a result of the partyline vote in the House on bringing up a clean bill. many of my majority colleagues insisted it was the Senates turn to act. but it is clear for all those watching that the Senate cannot pass a Homeland Security bill with the Houses extraneous riders attached. Further. the President has made it abundantly clear he would veto the bill if these riders remained. I ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: What now? Hasnt this gone on long enough? Isnt it time we abandon the failed strategy and pass a clean bill funding the Homeland Security Department?
