Rep. James Walkinshaw: ‘Dems Have Put Forward a Legislation to Fund All of Those DHS Agencies Except for ICE and CBP’

EXCERPT:

WALKINSHAW: “That‘s right. Look, it is absolutely outrageous that our TSA agents and our FEMA workers and our cybersecurity workers are not getting paid right now. And that‘s why I and other Democrats have put forward legislation to fund all of those DHS agencies except for iCE and CBP, so we can continue those negotiations. Look, Donald Trump‘s immigration agenda, the mass deportation agenda is out of control. The American people want it to be reined in. We need to make that happen. But we shouldn't be holding our TSA agents hostage while those negotiations continue. We should vote tomorrow to pay them. And Democrats have put forward that legislation so far in both the House and Senate Republicans continue to block it.”
