I rise today to call out my Republican colleagues for abandoning their duty to govern and protect our national security. We are just hours away from asking 200.000 DHS employees who protect our country to go without pay because Republicans cant get their act together. A DHS shutdown doesnt protect us from national security threats. and it certainly doesnt solve our disagreements over immigration policy. This is nothing more than a tantrum. but even my 5yearold son knows that tantrums are a waste of time. It is time to grow up and govern. Will you listen to the extremists in your party who are focused on obstruction of progress. or will you listen to the majority of Americans who want us to fund DHS. want us to act on comprehensive immigration reform. and want us to govern like adults? I urge my colleagues to pass a clean DHS funding bill.
