Mr. Speaker. such a reckless action. particularly at a time when there are terrorists all across the world who want to kill Americans. including. as recently uncovered. three terrorists at home in New York determined. apparently. to bomb parts of the Coney Island district I represent? Why would you contemplate shutting down the Department of Homeland Security at this momentor at any momentsimply to satisfy the rightwing thirst of the antiimmigration faction of your party? Let me pause there parenthetically for a moment. Because they seem to have concluded that this President exceeded his authority when he issued an executive action providing immigration relief. notwithstanding the fact that every President since Dwight Eisenhower has taken executive action to provide some form of immigration relief. It has occurred 39 times since the 1950s. President Eisenhower did it.
