Congress has twice provided USFS emergency funding
to repay non-wildfire accounts this year. Without a permanent fire
borrowing fix, USFS will continue to have to rob forest management
accounts to pay for fire suppression--meaning our forests will continue
to be overgrown and infested with insects and disease, powder kegs
waiting to burn next year. Finally, the resolution does not include any solutions for the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Roughly 800,000
law-abiding individuals are at risk of deportation otherwise. Congress
must work together to ensure that individuals who were brought
illegally into this country as children, through no fault of their own,
are not targeted for deportation.
