Last December. when we considered the appropriationsthe budgetfor the Department of Homeland Security. the Republicans insisted we take that Department out of the regular budget process and give it only temporary funding. a continuing resolutiontemporary fundingwhich limits the authority of the Secretary of Homeland Security to do his best job to keep America safe. Why would the Republicans pick this appropriation. the single appropriation to keep America safe from terrorism and decide they dont want to properly fund it? They are only giving it temporary funding and a continuing resolution because they disagree with President Obamas position on immigration. That is it. They want this issue of immigration. separate and apart from the budget of the Homeland Security. to be debated. and they insist they will not fund the Department of Homeland Security until it is debated. So come February 27. in just a few days. this Department of Homeland Security is going to shut down. It is going to shut down.
