When we talk about providing people certainty. that is not what we are doing here. This is about just kind of going through the motions for the sake of going through the motions. Finally. on the Department of Homeland Security bill. yes. the House acted and attached all these radical antiimmigrant riders to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill. MITCH MCCONNELL. the Senate majority leader. told reporters on Tuesday: I think it is clear we cannot go forward in the Senate. so the next move. obviously. is up to the House. Today is Thursday. Tomorrow we leave for a break. and it doesnt seem like Republican leaders feel the same sense of urgency that we do over here that we need to get this business completed. Republicans are obviously refusing to admit the reality of this kind of dangerous antiimmigrant grandstanding. In fact. when reporters asked House Majority Leader KEVIN MCCARTHY whether the House would take up a new DHS funding bill. he said. "Why do we have to?" Let me respond to the majority leader. The reason why we have to is because our primary job here is to protect the people of the United States of America.
