Mr. Speaker. when we come to Congress all of us take an oath to protect our nation. our homeland. Today. we risk undermining that solemn promise due to partisan objections to the Presidents immigration actions. Even if my colleagues disagree with the Presidents immigration actions. the answer is not to hold hostage funding for homeland security. Senate Republicans recognize this. The Senate voted 98 to 2 yesterday to begin consideration of a clean funding bill. It is time to Act! Yet. the House continues dawdling as we lurch toward a homeland security shutdown. Whether it is training first responders. building new firehouses or paying TSA screeners. some things should be above politics.
