Speaker. over 4.000 Homeland Security employees are going to be furloughed or go without pay. House Republicans forced this unnecessary stalemate by including poison pill riders in the bill that our Homeland Security Subcommittee negotiated late last year. It was a bipartisan. bicameral negotiated bill. It is ready to be passed right this minute. It should have been passed in December along with the rest of the appropriations bills. Instead. Republicans held back Homeland Security. and they added riders designed to poke the President in the eye and to impose radical antiimmigration policies on our country. Now. thankfully. Senate Republican leaders understand the potential consequences of a shutdown.
