We need to put aside the political gridlock that has plagued this House for too long and fund DHS now. An impasse in funding would close down the bulk of DHS management and support of Homeland Security infrastructure that was built following the 9111 terrorist attacks. Essential funding for the Department of Homeland Security is no place for grandstanding against immigration reform that strengthens our economy and our country. Lets remember: it was the inability of this House to act on the Senates comprehensive immigration reform bill that forced the President to take executive action on immigration in the first place. I came to Congress telling my constituents that I do not support government shutdowns. Federal furloughs. or sequestration. and now some in this body think they can fix this with further inaction. with further furloughs and further government shutdowns.
