I look forward to hearing from the panel today about how we might improve CFATS and make sure we give DHS and the regulated community the civility and certainty of a long-term reauthorization program.
Thompson expresses a desire to enhance the CFATS program and ensure its long-term stability.

There you have it. House Republicans have an hour to debate a nonbinding symbolic resolution but not even a few seconds to do the job that would actually pay our DHS workers. This is the Republican DHS shutdown.
At a time when DHS is rightly warning about an elevated threat environment from terrorists and cartels, we should be focused on plugging security gaps rather than senselessly creating new ones.
