Mr. Speaker. in December of 2014. as leverage against the Presidents immigration executive order. the Republican leadership irresponsibly decided to hold hostage the 2015 funding for the Department of Homeland Security. We are now 147 days in fiscal year 2015. just 4 days away from February 28. when the continuing resolution currently funding the Department will expire. The serious consequence of inaction by the Republican leadership is that it will leave the Department without the funds needed to effectively fulfill its mission of protecting our homeland. It is unbelievable that given the urgency of our national security. House Republicans continue failing to put forward a realistic plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
