I realize that I havent been serving in this body very longonly 8 weeksbut today is exactly the kind of day that drives most people nuts about Congress. Even though we all agreeSenate Republicans. Senate Democrats. in a more than 21 vote. House Democrats and House Republicansthat we need to fund the Department of Homeland Security. yet here we are a few hours before the deadline once again playing around with the security of the United States. Madam Speaker. we have a way to end this. We have the Senate bill in front of us. Let us adopt the bipartisan bill. get the Department of Homeland Security funded. and then we can move on and have this legitimate debate about immigration.
