Republicans are committed to a safe and secure America. We're going to fully fund our nations security without a single Democrat vote. Democrats would rather protect illegal immigrant criminals than American citizens. https://t.co/Xu97jTSlDD

While #WI08 faces major flooding, DHS, including FEMA, remains shut down. House Republicans voted 4 times to fully fund DHS, but Senate Democrats have put politics ahead of the American people. Republicans have no choice but to get the job done alone through reconciliation. https://t.co/1N1uLsZ7aR

Is DHS still shut down? When does Congress vote on funding next?. Congress reconvened on Wednesday, April 22, still not having reached a bipartisan agreement on funding for the U.S

Here is a fresh idea, let's not fund Congress and Senators until they can agree to fund DHS, no salaries and then see how long it takes for them to negotiate.

For 67 days now, Democrats have refused to fully fund @DHSgov. That is unacceptable.

ALERT: Majority Whip John Barrasso dropped a bombshell announcement that Senate Republicans will use budget reconciliation to fully fund ICE & CBP through the end of Trump's term.
