The House has just passed H.R. 240, the FY 2015 Homeland Security Appropriations Act. This legislation sets a benchmark as to what needs to be done to stop the President’s overreach on immigration. This is a country of laws, and there is a lawmaking process established in the Constitution which the President overstepped. As amended, this legislation includes provisions to fully defund the President’s executive orders on immigration, strengthens and prioritizes funding for border security, provides resources to combat cyber-attacks, and continues passenger screening reforms at the TSA. The bill also strengthens transparency and Congressional oversight on the Department of Homeland Security by requiring the agency to submit spending plans and reports to Congress on acquisitions. Today’s vote is a positive step that now goes to the Senate. It is important that we continue to work to rein in the President’s overreach, and advance a step-by-step immigration solution that begins with enhanced, verifiable border security and a strengthened guest worker program.
