Further. failure to pass an appropriations bill for DHS would furlough or deny payment to the 4.735 law enforcement officials. disaster response officials and many other homeland security personnel in Massachusetts. Republicans know that the right thing to do is to fund the department. This is why. earlier today. the Senate passed a clean bill to fund the department. This is not a partisan issue. This is an American issue. I implore the Republicans to have the debate on immigration. and have it soon. Talk about our differences there. but lets not put our citizens. our country. and our allies at risk by holding funding for the Department of Homeland Security hostage. Id like to thank my friend from California again for the opportunity to speak this evening.
