Speech #1140011715

I would like to take us back to December of 2014 when we passed this thing called the CR/Omnibus. all these spending bills together that we spent money for the American people over the course of a year to fund our government. except for the Department of Homeland Security bill. which would be funded right through midnight tonight. Why did we single this one bill out for this short term? For one reason and one reason only: The Republican majority wanted to pick a fight with the President over the Presidents execution of his lawful authority to try to solve problems in the area of immigration. Now. a Federal district court judge. who has a long history of Republican partisanship. decided that he would issue an order stopping the execution of this executive order action. so. now. why dont we let the district court handle it. pass a yearlong bill. and look after the public safety of the American people? This thing is where it should be.
