Mistakenly. some Republicans believe the Department is doing just fine under the continuing resolution. Some even say it is okay to let DHS funding expire. Other Republicans suggest the preliminary Texas district court injunction. which blocks implementation of the Presidents executive action on immigration. is reason enough to continue holding hostage the funding for Homeland Security. These are dangerously wrong conclusions. Secretary Johnson and agency heads have warned that if the CR is allowed to expire. national security operations will be disrupted. and essential personnel will be required to work without pay. They also warn passing another CR will not address the uncertainty of being able to meet our longterm national security needs. Our national security cannot wait for the unrelated issue of the Presidents executive actions on immigration to work its way through the judicial process which. at best. is likely to take several months. By contrast. Democrats have a responsible solution.
