Can our Republican colleagues say that we wont be on the brink of another shutdown in the next few weeks in terms of the legislation they are putting forth? What is the purpose of it? If the purpose is to oppose the Presidents immigration policy. the court has given you a facesaving way out. If the purpose is to have a better idea about immigration. bring up a bill. but if the purpose is to inject uncertainty into the security of the American people. shame. shame. shame. because it undermines our ability to the American people. it undermines the oath that we all take. and it is really a very sad day. I would urge my colleagues. as they weigh the equities. we all want to make sure that the workforce of DHS is fully engaged. employed. and paid. I would just like to ask my colleagues who have been advocating for a shutdown or take us to the brink of a shutdown over and over again if they would like to live without being paid as Members of Congress.
