Politico reports that New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen spearheaded a letter to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell demanding that he not put the House's DHS appropriations bill up for a vote due to it's language that defunds President Obama's executive amnesties.
We need an immediate response in online comments, social media, blogs, letters to the editor, water cooler conventions, the barber shop, etc: The Senate must pass the House's language to defund executive amnesties.
Before the election, Sen. Shaheen issued a statement that said she would not support a piecemeal approach issued by executive order but now she is leading the effort to preserve the executive amnesty in the Senate.
Shaheen's message today is: The message we are sending today is clear: We should not play politics with critical homeland security resources that keep our country safe.
Roy Beck says this about Shaheen's quote and the Senate Democrats' letter:
Who is playing politics with Homeland Security? President Obama has threatened the ability of the entire security-checking apparatus of DHS by his promise to thrust 5 million illegal aliens on the system for work permits. With all the security concerns cited in the Democrats' letter, the last thing that DHS needs to be dealing with this year is the most massive caseload of applications in American history.
This is a threat easily recognized by the union representing the workers who would have to handle Obama's latest executive amnesty. The House DHS funding bill removes that threat.
Unless Congress stops this 5-million-application dump on DHS, that department's ability to guard the physical security of the American people will be greatly compromised in these tense times.
