Today, the House will vote on a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. This bill includes amendments that would roll back President Obamas executive actions on immigration. Instead of making a good-faith effort to produce long term legislation that would fix our broken immigration system, Republicans have opted to hold hostage funding for one of the most critical agencies in our government in order to pander to extremists in their party. This puts our national security at risk at a time when we should be doing everything we can to provide our security agencies with the support and resources they need to prevent attacks like the ones that occurred in France last week. I took to the House floor to speak out against this bill which targets millions of families who work hard, contribute to our communities, and are just trying to give their children a chance at the American Dream-- the same dream that many of our parents and grandparents had when they came to this country. #PeopleNotPolitics
