The Department of Homeland Security is about keeping our Nation and our citizens safe. Just as we fund the military to face threats abroad, Department of Homeland Security does that work to keep our communities safe at home. Now is not the time to play politics with our immigration laws as if it is a child's toy. If you want to talk immigration, let's talk immigration. We have a plan. The Senate passed a bipartisan plan with more than two-thirds support last session. Let's see some ideas about resolving our broken immigration system. The President's step is an important first step to keep our communities safer, by focusing our limited enforcement resources on criminals who represent a threat to our community. Do you want to undo that and instead use our enforcement resources to go after kids and families rather than criminals? That makes our communities less safe rather than more. Let's not play politics with Homeland Security. Pass a clean bill, and tackle the immigration issue. ____________________
