In addition. Democrats refused to fund the lawful functions of the Department of Homeland Security. And this is important: The Housepassed Department of Homeland Security funding bill funds all of the lawful. statutorily authorized functions of the Department. including the immigration law enforcement component of the agencies that. under the Obama administration. has been prevented from enforcing the laws.

I guess. 2 years agofiled a lawsuit against their own supervisors declaring that they were being forced to violate their oath to enforce the laws of the United States. I have never seen that.

They say: Well. you wont pass a Homeland Security bill like we want it. You are not making America safe. I say their policies eviscerating law enforcement are making America less safe. as the Immigration and Customs agents do. the ones who process the applicants. Ken Palinkas. the President of the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council. has written that: This amnesty executed by the President will make us less safe. His amnesty makes us less safe. Passing a bill that stops his amnesty will make us more safe.
