Because of where we are right now. it is important to remember that the underlying Department of Homeland Security funding bill was the result of a bipartisan negotiation and compromise between both Chambers and both parties. That means we have to resist the temptation in either Chamber to make political decisions that have no chances of success in the Senate or would be vetoed by the President. For example. reinserting partisan immigration riders into this bill is a nonstarter. The Senate has not wavered on this point. and that dynamic is not going to change. Lets just do our jobs. Lets fund the Department of Homeland Security. and then we can debate comprehensive immigration policy any time the leadership desires to bring it to the floor. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
