Americans expect that Congress will fulfill its duty to act in the best interests of those we serve. The question of whether or not to fund the Department of Homeland Security should never even be up for debate. I respect the difference of opinions some of my colleagues hold with respect to the Presidents recent executive action on immigration. But taking hostage a funding bill that is intended to keep American families safe in order to get what you want is reckless. and it is not the way this body was intended to function. Lets pass a clean DHS funding bill. and then lets have a serious debate on immigration. We need to find a comprehensive solution to our immigration challenges. and the only way to do that is by working together to pass a bipartisan bill. Lets utilize this Chamber to debate and pass meaningful legislation. and lets start right now by approving the Department of Homeland Security funding for the remainder of the fiscal year.
