Then, we could again
send a message to agencies, departments, and cabinets that we have the
ability to determine how much money they have to spend and, therefore,
have the opportunity to influence decisions that are made that affect
the American people through the bureaucracy and through the
administration in such significant ways. So the goal here is to keep government functioning--no shutdown--but
also to have the discipline necessary to put an appropriations process
in place to get us out of a CR. Immigration, from DACA to border security, is certainly a topic of
conversation in Congress, and negotiations are apparently ongoing and
it is an issue that needs to be resolved. If we are going to make fixes
to our immigration system, now is better than later. If border security
is important, now is better than later to improve border security. If
certainty in people's lives is important, now is better than later. Many of us have a concern that we are not adequately funding the
defense side.
