Delaying the fullyear bill limits the Departments ability to advance the Secretarys unity of effort initiative designed to improve coordination in our security missions. limits the ability of the Secretary to move ahead with the Southern Border and Approaches Campaign. creates uncertainty regarding ICEs capacity to detain and deport dangerous criminals. complicates the Departments ability to deal with another influx of unaccompanied children at our border stations. delays implementation of the new security upgrades at the White House and hiring increases of the U.S. Secret Service. delays terrorism preparedness. my colleagues. and response grants for State and local public safety personnel and from fusion centers. I understand that many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle feel quite strongly about the Presidents use of executive orders on immigration policy. but do they have the courage of their convictions to look the first responders they represent in the eye and to tell them that they are holding up critical assistance to firefighters. law enforcement. EMTs. and emergency managers because of a fight that is ideological over immigration? This is disgraceful. The Homeland Security bill should never have been held hostage with only 3 days left until the Republican shutdown.
