It is shameful what the Democrats have done to the Department of Homeland Security. They have now twice in this last year, forced people within the department to go without pay for extended periods of time. Republicans have tried repeatedly, not only through the bipartisan appropriations process, to ensure that the department and all the agencies and all the employees and all the functions are funded. We've tried to do it that way. Democrats have blocked it. We tried to do clean extensions, continuing resolutions that would fund those agencies, and those were also blocked by the Democrats.
