Yet, the majority pretends the sequester, which would
cut $72 billion in defense funding in this bill, isn't real. I want to make it very clear that Democrats are ready to work with
our Republican colleagues to raise the caps on defense, but we must
also raise the caps on important domestic priorities. Playing politics
with the bill that funds the troops by inserting the toxic border wall
into it is really beyond the pale. Why not include the FBI, or the entire Homeland Security bill? If the
intention is to pass security-related bills, securing our homeland goes
beyond the Department of Defense and our own budgets in the legislative
branch.
