In a letter, U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich urged Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to pass a clean bill that funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the remainder of the fiscal year. The letter was signed by forty-five Senators, including two Independents calling for a DHS funding bill without extraneous policy riders attached. The letter also noted that the President would veto any piece of legislation that would limit his discretion on immigration matters.

"As we rapidly approach the date on which the Department of Homeland Security's funding expires, and as law enforcement officials face major threats to our nation's safety and security, we write with one simple request: work with us to pass a clean bill that funds Homeland Security for the remainder of the fiscal year," the Senators wrote in their letter to McConnell.

"The House bill cannot pass the Senate ... The President has also made clear that he will veto any bill that expressly limits his authority to exercise prosecutorial discretion on immigration matters. While we agree our current immigration system needs comprehensive reform, including border security enhancements, this appropriations bill is not the place for this debate."

The letter continued, "Every day, new threats emerge that endanger our citizens at home and our allies abroad. We should not cast doubt on future funding for the Department of Homeland Security at a time when the entire nation should be marshalling collective resources to defend against terrorism."

The Senators urged the Majority Leader to "immediately schedule a vote" on the clean, bipartisan compromise funding bill that House and Senate negotiators reached in December, which would fund DHS for the entire fiscal year. DHS is operating on a continuing resolution which runs out at the end of February.

Homeland security funding supports DHS and its related agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, Transportation Security Administration, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, among others.

That is not a "clean bill". That is terrible, awful, dirty, filthy bill, so terrible and dirty that you want to wash and wash and wash to wash it away. That is a bill the represents treason, harm, death, sickness, poverty, debt, homelessness, unemployment, underemployment, and the DEAD DREAMS of American Citizens. That bill is a bill written, introduced and supported by the lowest scum in our nation, scum that thinks more of foreign lawbreakers who are entitled to nothing in this country than the US citizens who are. This bill usurps everything our country was founded to do which for your treasonous low-life ass-hats is:

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

This nation was not established to feed the world, to provide jobs to foreigners, to bleed our treasuries paying Medicaid bills for illegal aliens and immigrants, trading seats in college that belong to Americans to foreigners, to pave a path to a North American Union or a Free Trade Agreement of the Americas or One World Government.

This nation was established of ourselves, by ourselves, and for ourselves and our children. And that is the only Constitutional purpose of the federal government, the ONLY and SOLE purpose of this government. Any actions outside of this are actions of a rogue government, a government no longer abiding its purpose contained within its legal scope and jurisdiction, but one that is feigning itself off to serve the foreign interests of those so far outside of and removed from the legal scope and jurisdiction of the government of the United States, that it is treason by definition. And that includes and defines any member of the US Congress that supports a filthy bill like funding by even 1 cent, a DACA or an Executive Amnesty that benefits foreign interests and persons at the expense of US citizens.
