We all understand the critical importance of the airport. And for those of us who are surrounded by water. the Coast Guard is absolutely critical. I could go on and on with all of the ways in which the men and women of Homeland Security. border security. Customs. the Coast Guard. as well as police and firefighters. our first responders. are keeping us safe every single day. If the House does not agree to what we are doing here. in 3 days we will see the Department of Homeland Security shut downan entire infrastructure put together after 9111. which we all worked together on in a bipartisan way because we saw and we felt what had happened in terms of the threats to our country and the loss of lives. It is critical this not be just a game. This cant be just a trick. where we are somehow voting straight up on Homeland Security funding without other riders on immigration or other things where there are differences with the President. If it is straightup funding. then we vote. and then it goes to the House and it gets completely changed again. that is not going to work. We are going to stand with the men and women who stand with us. put their lives on the line. and work hard every single day to keep us safe.
