PROVIDING FOR DISPOSITION OF SENATE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 7147, DEPARTMENT 
             OF HOMELAND SECURITY APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2026

  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, 
I call up House Resolution 1142 and ask for its immediate 
consideration.
  The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:

                              H. Res. 1142

       Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution, the House 
     shall be considered to have taken from the Speaker's table 
     the bill (H.R. 7147) making further consolidated 
     appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, 
     and for other purposes, with the Senate amendment thereto, 
     and to have concurred in the Senate amendment with an 
     amendment consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 
     119-21.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Minnesota is recognized 
for 1 hour.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, for the purpose of debate only, I yield 
the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. 
McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. 
During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the 
purpose of debate only.


                             General Leave

  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Minnesota?
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, we are here tonight to debate the rule 
providing for consideration of the Senate amendment for H.R. 7147, the 
Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act of 2026.
  The rule provides that the House shall be considered to have taken 
from the Speaker's table H.R. 7147, with the Senate amendment thereto, 
and to

[[Page H2794]]

have concurred in the Senate amendment with an amendment consisting of 
the text of Rules Committee Print 119-21.
  Simply put, a vote for this rule is a vote to fund the entire 
Department of Homeland Security through May 22, 2026.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today because the American people are tired of 
half measures when it comes to their safety.
  Last night, the Senate passed a funding deal that can only be 
described as an attempt to put a dead bolt on the front door while 
leaving the backdoor wide-open.
  They want us to believe they are securing our homeland, yet their 
proposal dedicates exactly zero dollars toward our Border Patrol 
operations. In a world of evolving threats, my colleagues across the 
aisle believe that we can protect this Nation by halves, but the 
message from House Republicans is clear: We will not and cannot fund 
only half of our Homeland Security.
  Security is not a buffet where you get to pick and choose which 
threats you acknowledge. House Republicans are aligned with the 
President on this. We will not accept a funding bill that does not 
support our homeland defenders, our ICE agents, and our Border Patrol.
  If it is important to stop tragedies from happening at our airports 
and everyone can agree on that, then it is equally important to stop 
these events from happening at our borders and in our communities.
  This week, the country felt the weight of Sheridan Gorman's death, a 
tragedy that is compounded by the bitter reality that it was entirely 
preventable and the result of Democrat policies that allow violent 
criminals to walk our streets.
  This loss is a grim reminder that when policies prioritize a radical 
agenda and the protection of violent illegal aliens over the protection 
of American citizens, it is innocent families that pay the ultimate 
price.
  We need to protect our citizens, and House Republicans will not vote 
for an even slightly open border. We will not leave portions of our 
homeland vulnerable while pretending the job is done. We know what 
happens when the border is treated as an afterthought.
  Under the Biden administration, America faced a national security 
risk. More than 20 million illegal immigrants entered the United 
States, straining our communities to the breaking point. Customs and 
Border Patrol recorded more than 2 million illegal immigrants were able 
to cross into the Nation without any record of who they were. That is 
nearly double what they tracked during the prior decade.
  Between fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2024, more than 388 illegal 
aliens on the terrorist watch list attempted to cross the border and, 
most alarming, at least 99 illegal aliens on that same watch list were 
allowed into our country. We saw members from one of the most notorious 
gangs in the world, MS-13, infiltrate our cities, leading to takeovers 
like we saw in Aurora, Colorado.
  That is the result of Democrat hope-based border vulnerability 
strategies, but we do not operate on hope or whims. We operate on facts 
and action.
  Under the Trump administration, we have seen what happens when we 
prioritize enforcement. In the last 10 months, zero illegal aliens have 
been released into the United States. We have proven that when the law 
is followed and the border is secured, our communities are safer and 
Americans are protected.
  The transformation of Homeland Security is further proof that the 
U.S. Coast Guard seized nearly 510,000 pounds of cocaine in fiscal year 
2025, a 200 percent increase compared to the annual average in previous 
years, and yet, despite this clear progress, Democrats are choosing to 
block DHS funding leading to this shutdown.
  They would rather see the entire Department shuttered than to see our 
borders secure. This is a simple, commonsense, 60-day, 8-week clean CR 
so we can properly pay our homeland defenders and continue the 
discussions.
  It secures the border by fully funding the paychecks and resources 
that we need. It protects our airports. It supports the President's 
decisive leadership in allocating TSA funds. It keeps FEMA ready to 
ensure our disaster response is not a casualty of the Democrat 
shutdown, and it guarantees the men and women on the front lines are 
paid for the critical work they do.
  Mr. Speaker, the Senate bill is a nonstarter because it treats 
national security as an optional expense. House Republicans will not 
fund a half-baked idea that leaves our borders open and our communities 
at risk.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues on the other side of the aisle 
and the other side of the rotunda to stop holding our security hostage. 
Join me in supporting this commonsense, 8-week CR and funding critical 
needs.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  2140

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Minnesota for 
yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to say to the American people: If you woke up 
this morning not knowing who to blame for this shutdown, you will go to 
bed tonight with no doubt. It is House Republicans and Speaker Johnson. 
I mean, what the hell are you guys doing? This is nuts.
  This is not complicated, Mr. Speaker. There is a bill right now, 
passed unanimously by the Republican-controlled Senate, to end this 
shutdown. It is a bill to fund FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and other 
lawful agencies in DHS. That bill was unanimously passed and was 
orchestrated by Republicans who control the United States Congress. You 
control the House, you control the Senate, and you control the White 
House. You control everything.
  Republican Leader John Thune was the one who wrote it, scheduled it, 
offered it. The Republican was presiding over the Senate floor when the 
bill came up. Not a single Senator, including not a single Republican 
Senator, objected to moving this bill forward--not a single one.
  That bill was sent to us today. What did Speaker   Mike Johnson do? 
He said no. He said let's keep those airport lines long. He said let's 
not pay TSA or FEMA or the Coast Guard or CISA. Why? Because he would 
rather bow down to a handful of batshit crazy, rightwing lunatics who 
don't care about who they hurt. They are demanding even more money for 
ICE, an agency that already has a $75 billion slush fund--$75 billion. 
My God, that is more money than almost every nation on Earth spends on 
their entire military budget per year.
  In what world does ICE need more money? Why would we give more money 
to an agency that a Federal judge says has violated more judicial 
orders this year than ``some Federal agencies have violated in their 
entire existence''?
  We have seen ICE and CBP agents break into homes without warrants. I 
thought you guys cared about civil liberties. We have seen them 
arresting and detaining American citizens and publicly executing people 
on the street. None of you are moved by that?
  Why the hell would we give them more money without real reforms? All 
we are saying is that we should fund agencies that actually protect the 
public and keep this country running.
  The Senate passed a bill that does just that. It is ready for House 
floor action. We could end this shutdown for good tonight if Speaker 
Johnson would just put it on the floor. There is no question that it 
would pass with massive, sweeping bipartisan support. I have talked to 
so many of you who told me you support what the Republican Senate did.
  Speaker Johnson refuses to do that. I swear, he is actually doing 
everything, and I mean everything, in his power to prevent reopening 
DHS tonight.
  Republican leadership has even gone so far as to change the very 
definition of ``time'' itself. They had to rig the rules to pretend 
today is tomorrow so they could jam this garbage CR through faster and 
then get out of town.
  This CR, Mr. Speaker, is a nonstarter. It is dead on arrival in the 
Senate. Even some House Republicans have already acknowledged that this 
plan, to quote them, is stupid. You know it is dead on arrival in the 
Senate.
  Speaker Johnson needs to grow a freaking spine, and we need some 
adult leadership in this House.

[[Page H2795]]

  Mr. Speaker, put the Senate bill on the floor. Let us pass it with a 
large majority of House votes. Let us end this Republican shutdown now.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to respectfully avoid 
from using profanity on the floor.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from the other side of the 
aisle can yell and swear all he wants. The reality is this CR is a 
commonsense solution to fund critical needs and to continue the 
discussion.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. 
Austin Scott), my Rules Committee colleague.
  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to tell you 
what is true about what Mr. McGovern said. It is true that last night, 
after midnight, the Republican majority leader introduced a piece of 
legislation on the floor of the Senate. It is true that no Republican 
Senator objected to that. I can tell you, I am very disappointed in the 
Republican leader and in the Republican Party over there for not 
objecting to it.
  I want to read, for the American citizens, what is written in the 
bill because I want you to understand why we cannot accept, and it is 
not in your best interest as American citizens for us to accept, the 
language that the Senate sent over here. While this is boring, I do 
think the words on the sheet of paper matter, and you need to 
understand the consequences of accepting the language.
  Section 4, Explanatory Statement: ``The explanatory statement 
regarding this act, printed in the House section of the Congressional 
Record on or about January 22, 2026, and submitted by the chair of the 
Committee on Appropriations of the House, shall have the same effect 
with respect to the allocation of funds and implementation of this act 
as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of 
conference, except that all contents printed under the headings `U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement' ''--that is what they want you to 
think it is about, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement--``and 
`Border Security Operations' under the heading `U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection' shall have no force or effect for purpose of this act, and 
amounts specified in the `Final Bill' column under the subheading 
`Border Security Operations' ''--not just ICE, but border security 
operations--``and under the heading `U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection' and under the heading `U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement' in the `Department of Homeland Security Act, 2026' table 
shall all be $0.''

  That is what you are demanding, that we zero out Customs and Border 
Protection so that the border can be open the way you want it to be 
open, the way you did it under Joe Biden.
  Mr. Speaker, I am disappointed in the Republican leader, and I am 
disappointed in the Republicans in the Senate for not objecting to this 
madness.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Let us just restate for the record that ICE and CBP have billions and 
billions and billions and billions of dollars, years of funding. You 
can't bring yourself to help feed hungry children or make childcare 
more affordable or healthcare more affordable, but you have no problem 
with giving ICE, an agency that cannot follow the law, billions and 
billions of dollars. Shame on you. Your priorities are all screwed up.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Menefee).
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members on both sides of the aisle are 
reminded to direct their comments to the Chair.
  Mr. MENEFEE. Mr. Speaker, I am here today representing the people of 
Houston, Texas, asking House Republicans to take up, to put for a vote, 
the deal that was agreed to in the Senate that would fully fund FEMA, 
the Coast Guard, as well as TSA.
  Houston has a unique impact in all of this. We are home to Bush 
Intercontinental Airport, right in my district, which has seen some of 
the longest wait times in the entire Nation and has had some of the 
highest TSA callout rates in the entire Nation.
  We are also home to a U.S. Coast Guard base. Sector Houston-Galveston 
has more than 1,500 personnel, folks who are not going to be receiving 
paychecks if we don't agree to this deal.
  We are also one of the most disaster-prone places in the entire 
country. We have had 500-year storm after storm, flood after flood, 
where people have lost their property, their dignity, and, in many 
instances, their lives.

                              {time}  2150

  We rely on FEMA. We rely on FEMA workers. We need this deal to 
happen, and the deal is already right here for the taking.
  We have already seen that Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats 
have agreed on a clean funding bill that would fully fund these 
agencies and would benefit all the American people, particularly the 
folks in Houston, Texas.
  I am calling on my colleagues in the House of Representatives, my 
Republican colleagues, and Speaker Johnson: Put this deal forward for a 
vote. Give the American people what they want, and that is a fully 
funded TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Clyde).
  Mr. CLYDE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the 
Department of Homeland Security continuing resolution that pays all of 
our brave homeland defenders and fully funds all of DHS, including ICE 
and CBP. For over 40 days, my Democratic colleagues have held our 
national security hostage to force their reckless, open-border, and 
pro-illegal alien agenda on the American people.
  Honestly, no one is surprised by this reckless stunt because, just a 
few short weeks ago in this very Chamber, these radical Democrats 
refused to stand for President Trump's simple statement that the first 
duty of the American Government is to protect American citizens, not 
illegal aliens. They showed their true colors then, and they are 
continuing to show them right now.
  Upholding immigration laws, securing our borders, and deporting 
illegal aliens is exactly what the American people voted for. We wanted 
to prevent more avoidable tragedies, like the horrific murders of Laken 
Riley and Sheridan Gorman.
  Democrats want to protect these monsters who are committing these 
crimes. It is as simple as that. You are either with the American 
citizens whom you swore an oath to serve, or you are with the illegal 
aliens who shouldn't be here in the first place.
  That is why the Senate bill was dead on arrival, passed in the dead 
of night by a voice vote. The Senate's DHS funding bill would defund 
ICE and the Border Patrol, further undermining the very agencies tasked 
with protecting our homeland.
  House Republicans rejected this terrible precedent, as we will not 
allow the radical Democrats' un-American, open-border, illegal 
foreigner-first agenda to destroy our country or dictate the 
appropriations process.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to put the American people first by 
supporting this DHS 60-day continuing resolution.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  First, Mr. Speaker, this bill does not defund ICE. There is like a 
gazillion dollars in the big, ugly bill, so that is just a lie.
  The gentleman talked about what happened in this Chamber. I will tell 
you something that happened in this Chamber. The President of the 
United States sent an angry mob here to attack our democracy, and that 
gentleman said that it was a normal tourist visit. I won't ever forget 
that.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. 
Jeffries), the Democratic leader, a real leader.
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Speaker, I thank my distinguished colleague, the 
top Democrat on the Rules Committee,  Jim McGovern, for yielding and 
for his leadership.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to this partisan 
political stunt that Republicans have brought to the floor masquerading 
as legitimate legislation.
  There is a bipartisan bill that, if brought to the floor today, can 
end the 42-day Trump-Republican shutdown of the Department of Homeland 
Security,

[[Page H2796]]

but Republicans have concluded that they would rather continue to force 
TSA agents to work without pay, inconvenience millions of Americans all 
across the country, and create chaos at airports.
  Why is this happening? It is because Republicans have chosen to 
continue to authorize spending billions of taxpayer dollars to 
brutalize or kill American citizens, like Renee Nicole Good or Alex 
Pretti, or to violently target law-abiding immigrant families.
  Mr. Speaker, we believe that immigration enforcement in this country 
should be fair, just, and humane. That is not what is happening right 
now. ICE is out of control. The American people know it, which is why 
changes need to be made that are bold, meaningful, dramatic, 
transformational, and common sense at the same period of time.
  Instead, Republicans have chosen to double and triple down on their 
extremism, on their brutality, and on their violence that has been 
unleashed on everyday Americans all across the country.
  There is a bipartisan bill sent over from the Senate. Every single 
Senate Democrat and every single Senate Republican supported that 
legislation. It would reopen the TSA, reopen FEMA, reopen the Coast 
Guard, and reopen the ability for our cybersecurity professionals to do 
their job while at the same time allowing for discussions, tough 
negotiations, to continue.
  On one side of those negotiations are my Republican colleagues who 
want to continue to spend taxpayer dollars to brutalize and kill 
American citizens; unleashing masked, untrained ICE agents, in some 
cases storming homes of everyday Americans, ripping them out of their 
beds in the middle of the night, ripping children away from their 
families, detaining people in inhumane conditions, and refusing to 
allow State and local authorities to investigate ICE's violence and 
brutality in ways that will be designed to bring about accountability.
  This debate, at the end of the day, is really all about: Do you want 
to compel ICE to conduct themselves like every other cop, police 
officer, or law enforcement agency in the country, or do you want to 
continue to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to violently 
target American citizens and law-abiding immigrant families?

  We choose the American way: fair, just, and humane.
  Mr. Speaker, many of my Republican colleagues have come to the floor 
to suggest that this legislation is about defunding ICE. That is a 
stone-cold lie because we know that the Republican one big, ugly bill 
ripped away Medicaid from 14 million Americans, the largest cut--almost 
$1 trillion--to Medicaid in American history. At the same period of 
time, extremist Republicans in their one big, ugly bill enacted a $186 
billion cut to nutritional assistance, literally ripped food from the 
mouths of hungry children, seniors, and veterans.
  Why did Republicans do that in their one big, ugly bill? In part, it 
was to provide their billionaire donors with massive tax breaks that 
they did not need and did not deserve and, at the same period of time, 
gave the Department of Homeland Security $191 billion--watch this--$75 
billion in a slush fund to ICE.
  Is that defunding? No. The one big, ugly bill defunded Medicaid. It 
defunded nutritional assistance for everyday Americans. It defunded 
some affordable housing programs. It defunded the ability for everyday 
Americans who are struggling under Republican policies to actually 
afford their utility bills. That was the defunding that has taken place 
in this Chamber during this Congress.
  Defunding ICE--how do you stand up here as Republicans and say that 
to the American people with a straight face when you gave ICE a $75 
billion slush fund and then turned around and gave CBP a $65 billion 
slush fund in the same one big, ugly bill?
  The reality is that we can end this shutdown--this 42-day, extreme 
Trump-Republican shutdown--today. If Republicans had the courage and 
the patriotism to actually bring a bipartisan Senate-passed bill to the 
floor, it would pass this Chamber with Democratic and Republican votes. 
Maybe not the extremists, but it would pass with Democratic and 
Republican votes.
    Mike Johnson has chosen to say ``no'' to a bipartisan bill so that 
he can say ``yes'' to continuing to force TSA agents to work without 
pay.
    Mike Johnson has said ``no'' to a bipartisan bill so that he could 
say ``yes'' to continuing to inconvenience millions of the American 
people across the country.
    Mike Johnson has said ``no'' to a bipartisan bill so that House 
Republicans could say ``yes'' to chaos at airports all across the 
country.
    Mike Johnson has said ``no'' to a bipartisan bill so that House 
Republicans could continue to say ``yes'' to ICE brutality.

                              {time}  2200

    Mike Johnson has said no to a bipartisan Senate-passed bill so 
House Republicans could continue to say yes to ICE violence.
    Mike Johnson has said no to a bipartisan Senate-passed bill so 
House Republicans could continue to say yes to the corruption that we 
have seen at the Department of Homeland Security.
    Mike Johnson has said no to a bipartisan Senate-passed bill that 
would reopen the Department of Homeland Security so House Republicans 
could say yes to the Freedom Caucus, which is clearly driving the train 
here.
  It was amazing to me that at the Rules Committee, you had some 
Republican Members trying to lecture America about Article I and 
separate and coequal branches of government. Really, you want to talk 
about the House and the Senate? I am not interested in that debate.
  Let's talk about the difference between Article I and Article II, 
because the Framers of this Constitution designed the Article I branch, 
the Congress, to be the first amongst equals.
  That is not how House Republicans have been acting from the very 
beginning of this Congress. Instead, House Republicans are running 
around this town acting like nothing more than a reckless rubberstamp 
to Donald Trump's extreme agenda. That is what is happening right now. 
What House Republicans want to do is to continue to fund Donald Trump's 
violent, extreme, mass deportation machine that has resulted in the 
death of at least three American citizens.
  Lecture us about Article I and Article II, you have got to be 
kidding.
  Mr. Speaker, I am going to continue to speak truth to power on this 
floor as a duly-elected Member, and the more you stand, the longer I 
will speak.
  So our view is very clear. We can reopen this government today if you 
bring to the House floor a bipartisan, Senate-passed bill. As 
Democrats, we believe that immigration enforcement in this country 
should be fair, it should be just, and it should be humane.
  Donald Trump promised to target violent felons who are here 
illegally. That is what Republicans promised.
  You have broken your word. It is American citizens and law-abiding 
immigrant families who are being targeted violently by untrained and 
masked ICE agents.
  Our position is pretty clear: Let's pay TSA. Let's fund FEMA. Let's 
fund the Coast Guard. Let's fund our cybersecurity professionals. Stop 
holding the American people hostage to an extreme rightwing agenda.
  Taxpayer dollars should be spent to make life more affordable for the 
American people. That is what Democrats will continue to focus on, in 
an environment where life has become more expensive under the extreme 
policies that President Trump and House Republicans continue to jam 
down the throats of the American people: the Trump tariffs, increasing 
costs on everyday Americans by millions of dollars in totality, 
thousands of dollars per year for everyday Americans as a family.
  House Republicans have refused, Senate Republicans have refused, and 
Donald Trump has refused to do anything to make life more affordable. 
Housing costs are out of control. Healthcare costs are out of control. 
Grocery bills are out of control. Gas prices are out of control because 
Republicans have decided to get us into a reckless war of choice in the 
Middle East, spending billions of dollars to drop bombs in Iran.
  Mr. Speaker, we are here dealing with a partisan spending bill that 
the Senate has already indicated is dead on arrival. Republicans have 
taken the decision to own this shutdown decisively. There is no doubt. 
As Ranking Member  Jim McGovern stated earlier, there is no doubt as to 
why we are still facing

[[Page H2797]]

a shutdown that is inflicting pain, chaos, and uncertainty on the 
American people.
  I rise in strong opposition to this so-called spending bill that is 
dead on arrival, that will do nothing, accomplish nothing, other than 
continuing the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the 
chaos that Republicans have unleashed in airports all across America.
  House Democrats are going to continue to fight for what is right. We 
are going to continue to fight to lower the high cost of living, fix 
our broken healthcare system, clean up corruption, stop this reckless 
war of choice in the Middle East, get ICE under control, pay TSA, end 
the chaos at these airports, and end this national nightmare that 
Donald Trump and Republicans are inflicting upon the American people.
  Vote ``no'' against this partisan political stunt.
  Let's say ``yes'' instead to a bipartisan bill that would reopen the 
Department of Homeland Security, end the chaos at airports, and stop 
the inconvenience of the American people.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Just to clarify to the gentleman, I was not 
standing to shorten your speech. I understand you can speak as long as 
you would like to. The House was not in order, and I was simply trying 
to bring it back into order for you.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman 
from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx), the chair of the Rules Committee.
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, our colleague who says they want us to bring down the 
high cost of living is like the arsonist who sets the fire and then 
comes out to help put it out.
  Mr. Speaker, the Senate's funding proposal is not worth the paper it 
is printed on. Frankly, it would be better used as kindling in a 
fireplace.
  I said it in the Rules Committee, and I will say it again here on the 
floor: We will be darned if we go down the road of undercutting the 
progress that our Republican majorities and President Trump have made 
in securing the border: a record low of encounters of illegal aliens, a 
dramatic reduction in fentanyl trafficking, and a return to law and 
order that was robbed from the American people for 4 years under the 
previous administration. Those are the things that would be sacrificed 
if we passed the Senate's proposal that is nowhere near being up 
to scratch.

  The people's House will not bend itself into submission by 
acquiescing.
  Let me make one other point very clear, Mr. Speaker. Our Democrat 
colleagues love to dust off the same withered line that Republicans are 
the ones responsible for DHS being shut down because we control the 
House, the Senate, and the Presidency. If we had a dollar for every 
time they trotted out that line, DHS could be funded multiple times 
over.
  What Democrats never acknowledge is that the Senate operates under an 
entirely different set of procedural and vote thresholds than the 
House, but the American people aren't fooled. They are far smarter than 
the Democrats believe they are.
  As time goes on, Mr. Speaker, one thing becomes clearer and clearer: 
Democrats are the carnival barkers for narratives that the American 
people aren't interested in buying.
  But that is their prerogative. Republicans, meanwhile, are the ones 
who are governing and will continue to do so by passing this rule and 
the underlying continuing resolution.
  Our 8-week CR will afford us the time to deliberate, build consensus, 
and advance a solution that is far greater than the Senate's jerry-
built proposal, all while ensuring the 100,000-plus DHS employees get 
paid.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge support for the rule and the underlying measure, 
and I yield back.

                              {time}  2210

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I just would like to respond by saying the 
American people know what is going on with the Republicans, and I trust 
their wisdom. That is why Republicans are the most unpopular party in 
the country, and the President's popularity has never been lower. They 
can't afford you. You don't know how to govern.
  In fact, if the American people could, they would sue the Republicans 
for malpractice.
  Everything is going up. Gas prices are up. Housing is up. Groceries 
are up. Everything is up. They can't afford you.
  Enough of this. Enough of this.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from 
Massachusetts (Ms. Clark), our Democratic whip.
  Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, yesterday Speaker   Mike 
Johnson said that November will be a choice between common sense and 
crazy, and today he has proven himself right. This is a battle between 
common sense and crazy.
  On the one side, we have a bipartisan bill to reopen TSA, reopen the 
Coast Guard while we are at war, reopen FEMA ahead of hurricane season, 
reopen our cybersecurity agency before the FBI gets hacked again, and 
reopen all the agencies that actually keep people safe. That is common 
sense. That is what Democrats are advocating for.
  Crazy is wanting to keep all that shut down, all of it, so that 
masked ICE agents can keep kicking down doors without warrants, so they 
can keep committing acts of terror in our communities.
  House Republicans have the easiest possible path to put people first. 
Vote for a bill that every Senate Republican voted for this morning. 
All they had to do was get out of the way, and they couldn't even bring 
themselves to do it. This is a battle between common sense and crazy, 
and the American people know which side the Republicans are on, and it 
is not the side of the people of this country.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), the true leader, the majority leader from 
Louisiana.
  Mr. SCALISE. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Minnesota for 
yielding and all the applause coming from the other side.
  Look, Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this important bill to 
fully fund the Department of Homeland Security. You know, we have done 
this time and time again at least in the House. This will mark tonight 
the fourth time that the House has voted to fully fund the Department 
of Homeland Security.
  I know there has been a lot of back and forth in the Senate, and then 
at 3 in the morning Senators just decided, well, throw in the towel and 
maybe see what they can cobble together to get out of town.
  But, Mr. Speaker, we have got a job to do. Our job is to protect the 
American people to do our job to keep them safe, and that is why we 
created this Department, not some of the Department, not just pieces of 
the Department, but the entire Department of Homeland Security.
  I know the other side over and over again has wanted to go back to 
open borders. We are not going to go back to open borders. The American 
people don't want us to go back to open borders. They have seen the 
peril of that.
  We also, Mr. Speaker, cannot go back to a September 10 mentality, a 
pre-September 11 mentality where you just ignore the signs of the bad 
things that are happening in this country. We changed that after 
September 11, and we vowed: ``Never forget,'' never let it happen 
again, yet here we are.
  Some Members want to get in the time machine, and they want to go 
back to another day where maybe America didn't have any attacks. Well, 
how about we go back in a time machine and listen to the Democrat 
leader Hakeem Jeffries. I will read a quote from Hakeem Jeffries. ``We 
are here today to do a single job, and that should be to fund fully the 
Department of Homeland Security. Anything else is an abdication of our 
responsibility. Anything else is an act of legislative malpractice. We 
are playing political games at a time when the safety and the security 
of the American people is being threatened.'' That was said in 2015 by 
Hakeem Jeffries.
  Now, what has happened between now and then? Well, let me tell you, 
Mr. Speaker, this is not your father's Democratic Party anymore. You 
have seen how far the radical crazy elements of the party have taken 
over and tried to bring it to this socialist mentality, this open 
borders mentality, this defund the police mentality. And, yes, this 
bill absolutely defunds the police.
  You have got under this bill that came over from the Senate, even 
when

[[Page H2798]]

you count in the working families tax cut that every Democrat voted 
against, even when you count that in, 6,700 people at the Department of 
Homeland Security will be defunded. That is right. They will be 
defunded.
  The American people rejected the defund the police movement. Just 
because it happened in the Senate at 3 in the morning doesn't mean 
nobody heard it. We did. We didn't just hear it, we read the bill, and 
we said, no, Mr. Speaker, that is not the responsible thing to do for 
this country.
  This country is counting on us. And by the way, it is at a time when 
we are at a heightened level of threats. If you are wondering what that 
heightened level is--I know there are some people that just want to go 
after police all the time. Why don't we just read a couple of the names 
that the other side doesn't want to read.
  Richard Williams, Mr. Speaker, was an 83-year-old U.S. Air Force 
veteran who was randomly shoved into the subway tracks by an illegal 
alien from Honduras. He just died this week.
  We have all heard of Sheridan Gorman. Maybe not enough people, Mr. 
Speaker, have heard of Sheridan Gorman, but we are going to say her 
name again. She was a beautiful 18-year-old young girl from Loyola 
University in Chicago, a student who had the world before her. She was 
shot to death by, yes, an illegal alien from Venezuela who came over 
here under President Biden's open borders that the other side wants to 
take us back to. We are not going to do that. That surely is not the 
responsible thing to do.

  Stephanie Minter, a 41-year-old mother from Virginia, was randomly 
stabbed to death by an illegal, yes, with a lengthy rap sheet with more 
than 30 prior charges.
  How many more of these do we have to have before some people will 
say, okay, maybe we need to fund this Department? I don't think there 
is an endless list before--they just don't want to offend their radical 
base, Mr. Speaker. That is really who they are afraid of.
  Obviously, if they were concerned about all these Americans--over and 
over and over again. This is just in the last month who has been killed 
by people here illegally, and they are going to go and defund almost 
7,000 people at the Department? That is insane.
  And, oh, by the way, have we talked about the multiple terrorist 
attacks that have happened, yes, here on our homeland, not on foreign 
soil, here on our homeland just in the last month, and they want to 
partially defund this agency with this bill and the working families 
tax cut. Still over 10 percent of the whole agency will be defunded at 
a time when we are at a heightened terrorist threat.
  Could you imagine if you had a terrorist outside of your house, and 
somebody said, well, we will let you lock the front door, but we don't 
have time to lock the back door? You would think that was crazy. You 
would lock the front door, the back door, the windows, and everything 
else, and you would go get your shotgun.
  But yet, they want to defund this agency and make our country 
vulnerable, make Americans less safe? I am not going to have anything 
to do with that, Mr. Speaker. I want to fund the whole Department. That 
is what this bill does. It pays everybody. It pays the TSA agents as 
they should be, as Democrats have voted time and time again to not pay. 
We pay them. And it is not long-term. I wish it was. We have sent them 
a long-term bill. This is for a few months. We at least have time to 
keep negotiating our differences.
  These are big differences, but these are dangerous times in America. 
This is not the time to defund the police, to defund the Department of 
Homeland Security at any level. Mr. Speaker, I would urge everybody to 
vote for this bill. Let's do our job. We are here doing the right thing 
to keep America safe. I urge adoption.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, let me just say I disagree with the true leader of the 
Republican Party, who I thought was   Mike Johnson, but apparently, the 
gentlewoman corrected us; it is not. But let me just say the issue for 
us--first of all, let me say: ICE is being funded. Stop the BS. Stop 
the misinformation that somehow ICE is not being funded. Mr. Speaker, 
$85 billion, that is what they have.
  That is what they have. The normal budget is $10 billion a year. It 
is $85 billion. Only Republicans would say that somehow that is not 
enough and that they are being defunded.

                              {time}  2220

  I will tell you the reason why we have concerns and are demanding 
reforms. It is because ICE is terrorizing communities and attacking 
people, including U.S. citizens. You should care about that.
  A U.S. citizen went on his lunch break, and masked Federal agents 
detained him in a choke hold. Federal agents ripped a woman from her 
car as she screamed that she was a U.S. citizen. ICE agents in 
Minnesota ate lunch in a small-town Mexican restaurant. When they were 
done enjoying the meal, they detained the workers who served them.
  In California, a U.S. citizen on his way to work at a food bank 
pulled over to warn Federal agents that they should wrap up their stop 
of another individual before school-age children gathered for the bus. 
Moments later, an ICE officer shot him in the back. You said nothing 
about that.
  In Chicago, ICE agents stormed an apartment complex by helicopters as 
families slept and deployed chemical agents near a public school--
nothing from your side.
  In Minnesota, ICE agents shot and killed Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, 
after she complied with agents' orders to move her vehicle away from 
the protest.
  In Minnesota, two ICE agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a U.S. 
citizen and a nurse, as he was exercising his constitutional rights.
  Mr. Speaker, ICE is wreaking havoc on people all across this country, 
trampling over their constitutional rights. There was a time when you 
cared about the Constitution. U.S. citizens across this country are 
carrying their passports out of fear of being detained without cause. 
There are reports of Native Americans who are U.S. citizens being 
detained by ICE.
  Thirty-two people died in ICE custody in 2025. It was ICE's deadliest 
year in two decades. In just the first 9 months of Trump's second term, 
over 170 U.S. citizens--U.S. citizens--were detained by ICE. Nearly 20 
were children. Two dozen were held without being able to call a lawyer 
or their families.
  Citizens are being dragged, tackled, beaten, and tased.
  I reserve the balance of my time, Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members from both sides of the aisle are 
reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Jordan), the chair of the Judiciary Committee.
  Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, it is all by design. It is all planned. For 4 years, it 
was a wide-open border, and 8 million to 10 million people entered this 
country.
  Then, when they got here, leftwing politicians all across the country 
said: We are going to provide sanctuary for these 8 million to 10 
million people who illegally came into the country. Eighteen cities, 11 
States, three counties, and the District of Columbia, representing 
almost one-third of the population of this Nation, said: We will give 
sanctuary. We are going to tell local law enforcement not to work with 
Federal law enforcement when it comes to the enforcement of Federal 
law.
  What does that mean in practice? An illegal migrant commits another 
crime and is in jail in a detention center. ICE sends a detainer there 
and says: Will you let us know if you are going to let this guy out?
  Mr. Speaker, 17,864 times last year, they said: No. We won't work 
with you. Go get them on the streets.
  What happens then? ICE goes out on the street to get them, and the 
leftwing agitators on the street spit on them, dox them, track them, 
harass them, and swear at them.
  Now, what do the Democrats want to do? They don't want to pay them.
  It is all by design. That is their plan for the country. The real 
question is: Why would a political party do that to this Nation?
  I don't know, but they don't want a border, and they don't want 
enforcement of our Federal immigration law.

[[Page H2799]]

That is plain to see. We have a bill in front of us that funds 
everything except--everything except--ICE.
  After what they put these ICE agents through on the street, after 
letting 8 million to 10 million people into the country, and after 
providing a sanctuary jurisdiction for the bad guys who did what this 
leader just said in Chicago to this college student, that is what these 
guys want.
  That is what the country needs to understand, and that is what this 
election is about this fall.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote for this legislation.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I would suggest to the gentleman that he 
check with his staff. ICE has $85 billion.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. 
Neguse), who is a distinguished member of the Rules Committee.
  Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, 237 years ago, one of our Founding Fathers, 
John Adams, laid bare his greatest fear for our country, which is that 
in every assembly, Congresses like this one, Members would gain 
influence not by sense, but by noise; not by greatness, but by 
meanness; not by learning, but by ignorance.
  Why am I quoting John Adams at 10:30 p.m. on a Friday night? It is 
because this debate, the Judiciary chairman's remarks, are emblematic 
of the reality, the cold, hard truth that John Adams' fears proved 
prescient. All we hear is noise from the other side.
  It is the kind of noise that expects the American people to believe 
that a bill that passed unanimously in the United States Senate somehow 
defunds the police. It is the kind of noise that expects the American 
people to believe that every conservative Republican U.S. Senator 
passed a bill last night that defunds the police. That is their 
argument.

  The bill that the Senate passed, every conservative Senator and every 
liberal one came to a consensus that the stalemate needed to end, that 
TSA agents needed to be paid, and that FEMA needed to be funded. They 
passed that bill on a unanimous basis.
  The only reason we are not considering it is because our colleagues 
on the other side of the aisle have been captured by the far-right wing 
of their party. It is shameful.
  We have an opportunity tonight to perhaps rise to the occasion and 
prove John Adams wrong.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman from Colorado.
  Mr. NEGUSE. If a handful of Republicans--I am not talking about 30 or 
20 or 10--if three vote to defeat the previous question, then we can 
take up the Senate bill tonight, and TSA agents will be paid. It is 
simple.
  It is time for our Republican colleagues to do the right thing and 
defeat this bill.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Meuser).
  Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, reality sometimes hurts. The fact is that 
the Democrat leadership, over a 4-year period, let millions and 
millions and millions of illegal aliens and illegal persons into our 
country and, along with it, tons of drugs and all kinds of human 
trafficking.
  Now, they are arguing against deportations and are doing their very 
best to create chaos and hope the American people allow them to blame 
it on President Trump and Republicans.
  After the House passed a bipartisan DHS funding bill, along with 
concessions from the White House and good faith efforts from both 
Chambers, Chuck Schumer still refused to take yes for an answer.
  The bill we received does not fund DHS. It sets border security 
operations and CBP at zero quite intentionally. Zero dollars means that 
day-to-day operations at Customs and Border Protection are not funded. 
That is explicitly attempting to open our southern border.
  Homeland Security Investigations, which stopped sex and child 
trafficking, is left out as well. Was that deliberate? Apparently so.
  For the second time within a year, TSA agents are working without 
pay. That is terrible for them, for their families, and, of course, as 
we see, for the traveling public.
  President Trump took action today, thankfully, to find a way to pay 
our TSA agents and allow our airports to run more smoothly. Now, we 
have to do our job.
  The short-term CR that we have presented is far from perfect, but it 
keeps DHS running and our airports moving during Easter and Passover, 
heavy travel times. We have time now to work out a better long-term 
plan and agreement, as well.
  Look, let's do what is right for once. Let's do what is right tonight 
for the American people and try to stop the politics. Let's fund 
Homeland Security and end this quite deliberately created chaos.

                              {time}  2230

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, after listening to the gentleman, I didn't know that 
Senate Republicans voted to open the southern border. I mean, Ted Cruz 
voted to open the southern border? Boy, that is something. I don't 
know.
  Mr. Speaker, I am going to urge that we defeat the previous question. 
If we do, I will offer an amendment to the rule to adopt the Senate 
amendment to H.R. 7147, the bipartisan compromise bill that the Senate 
unanimously passed this morning to fund all law-abiding agencies under 
the Department of Homeland Security.
  This bipartisan--I know that is a tough word for some of you--but 
this bipartisan solution would make sure that TSA employees are paid, 
FEMA employees are paid, cybersecurity employees are paid, and our 
Coast Guard is paid.
  If Speaker Johnson would just put the damn bill on the floor of the 
House for an up-or-down vote, we all know it would pass. That is what 
this motion does. It simply allows for a vote to adopt the compromise 
bill that just passed unanimously through the Republican-led Senate 
instead of a vote on this Republican, partisan, 2-month, crappy CR bill 
that we know will not become law.
  Now is the time to stand up against far-right extremism and take the 
deal. Let's have a vote on the Senate bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of my 
amendment into the Record along with any extraneous material 
immediately prior to the vote on the previous question.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Massachusetts?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), ranking member of the Appropriations 
Committee, to discuss our proposal.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, the bill we are debating tonight will never 
become law. It is dead on arrival, doomed. The Senate has gone home. 
They did their job. They worked together in a bipartisan way to 
negotiate, deliberate, and strike an agreement that passed unanimously 
out of the Senate Chamber.
  Imagine, Democrats and Republicans said ``yes.'' How often does this 
happen?
  House Republican leadership refuses to bring it up for a vote because 
they know if they did, it would pass overwhelmingly. By blocking the 
Senate's agreement from receiving a vote, Republican leadership extends 
the shutdown, and that means another missed paycheck for Federal 
workers.
  What is the Republican leadership position? Let us continue to 
withhold paychecks from TSA agents. Let us continue to force them to 
sleep in their cars, to continue to have to sell their plasma, to stay 
frightened to death of evictions.
  Republican leadership is doing this because they do not want to enact 
even the most fundamental constraints on ICE, a rogue, lawless, and 
reckless agency. They want to allow them to continue harassing, beating 
up, and, yes, even killing American citizens.
  They would rather prolong this shutdown, continue withholding 
paychecks from TSA workers, and keep extending the lines at airport 
security than enact a requirement that Federal officers obtain a 
warrant from a judge before they kick in your front door or they pick 
you up on the street.
  They do not want to require independent investigations into egregious 
misconduct by ICE officers. They want

[[Page H2800]]

to allow them to continue to detain and deport American citizens, allow 
them to go to sensitive locations, like churches and hospitals and 
schools.
  They side with out-of-control Federal agencies over the responsible, 
dedicated workers who keep air travel safe.
  Only yesterday, President Trump decided that he has the ability to 
pay these workers. If the White House believes they have the authority 
and the funds to pay these workers, then they have had this authority 
all along for the past 42 days. However, what they chose to do was 
withhold the paychecks from TSA workers for political gain. It is 
shameful.
  ICE is funded. Don't listen to them. They have $75 billion plus 
another $10 billion in a slush fund, and they can do whatever they want 
with it. Customs and Border Protection have $65 billion and another $11 
billion in the Senate bill. Spare us the lies.
  The American people know exactly who is responsible for prolonging 
this shutdown. The TSA workers, putting in yet another shift with no 
pay, will know when they see Republican Members hightailing it home to 
enjoy their spring break.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 1 minute to the 
gentlewoman from Connecticut.
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, we have an opportunity to end this 
shutdown. If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment 
to the rule to bring up the bipartisan bill passed unanimously by the 
United States Senate.
  If the House passed the bipartisan Senate agreement, I sincerely 
doubt, my friends, that the President of the United States would veto 
it. We can stop the madness tonight. Instead, Republican leadership is 
choosing to continue it for politics and political gain. It is 
shameful.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
North Carolina (Mr. McDowell).
  Mr. McDOWELL. Mr. Speaker, I keep hearing about the need for 
bipartisanship, but I would just remind my colleagues across the aisle 
that just yesterday we voted for the fourth time to open the Department 
of Homeland Security. That was a bipartisan vote where some of 
their colleagues decided to join us. This is the second government 
shutdown that these Democrats have caused on the American people, this 
one for 42 days. That is how long the Democrats have dragged out their 
second government shutdown.

  They have done this while refusing to fund the Department of Homeland 
Security. Once again, they are showing the American people that their 
loyalties lie with criminal, illegal aliens and not hardworking 
Americans.
  Democrats are gambling with the safety of our country, all to appease 
their woke, radical base.
  The American people were loud and clear, Mr. Speaker. They wanted 
secure borders. They wanted to deport criminal, illegal aliens, and 
they wanted a government that prioritized their safety.
  Democrats are telling us exactly what they will do if they ever get 
the chance. They will reopen our borders. They will reopen the pipeline 
of deadly fentanyl at our southern border.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentleman from North Carolina.
  Mr. McDOWELL. Mr. Speaker, they will endanger every American with 
their reckless policies. People will die.
  Tonight, we are voting to do our jobs and to keep Americans safe 
despite our colleagues across the aisle continuing to do the opposite.
  Pay our TSA workers. Fund our immigration enforcement. It is not 
hard, Mr. Speaker. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this bill.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I would just say to the gentleman from 
North Carolina, his two Republican Senators, Messrs. Tillis and Budd, 
didn't seem to have a problem. Maybe he should call them.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. 
Stanton).
  Mr. STANTON. Mr. Speaker, we should have voted today, we should have 
voted yesterday, last week, last month to fund every department in 
Homeland Security, but not more money for ICE without changes.
  That is what House Democrats are fighting for, and this morning, the 
Senate passed a bill unanimously to do just that, every single Senator, 
Democrat and Republican. Speaker Johnson called that Senate bill a 
joke.
  Let me tell you what is not a joke: Cybersecurity experts going 
without pay on the same day Iran hacked the Director of the FBI, FEMA 
being dismantled in real time, or TSA agents launching GoFundMe 
accounts to pay for gas and groceries.
  Instead of taking up the Senate bill, House Republicans are choosing 
to give even more money to Trump's mass deportation machine beyond the 
$75 billion slush fund they gave ICE last summer. There is no 
accountability, no oversight, no limits.
  Let's be clear about what is happening. DHS is shut down because 
Republicans are refusing to listen to the vast majority of the American 
people who want to see changes to ICE. I urge my colleagues to vote 
``no.''

                              {time}  2240

  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
West Virginia (Mr. Moore).
  Mr. MOORE of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I am listening to the other 
side of the aisle right now, and I want you to know what you are 
hearing right now is desperation.
  It is desperation because they are this close to their ultimate 
objective, which is defunding ICE, CBP, and HSI, which, by the way, 
they are going after the 300,000 unaccompanied minors you all let into 
this country that no one can find. That is what is going on here right 
now.
  This bill that the Senate has passed, I am going to call it Hakeem's 
dream. That is what this bill is. It is Hakeem's dream, but it is 
America's nightmare. That is what this bill is.
  This Chamber here on this side of the aisle, we are not only saying 
no to that, we are saying hell no. We are not going to pass this.
  The Speaker of the House of Representatives has stood up and said we 
are not going to take this anymore. We are going to fund ICE, CBP, and 
HSI, and we are going to put a stop to the madness that has been going 
on in this country for far too long. It is time to make America safe 
again.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks 
to the Chair.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I want everybody to know the gentleman 
from West Virginia was saying ``hell no'' to paying TSA workers, FEMA 
workers, Coast Guard workers, and CISA workers. Shame on you.
  By the way, if you have some complaints about this bill, the 
gentleman from West Virginia should write his two Senators, Justice and 
Capito, because they voted for this.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California 
(Mrs. Torres).
  Mrs. TORRES of California. Mr. Speaker, the U.S. House of 
Representatives is being used as a front for Republican-sponsored 
lawlessness.
  The Senate handed us a bipartisan deal to keep this country safe, but 
Speaker Johnson, shackled by his own extremism, called it a joke.
  They want to talk about a joke, Mr. Speaker? It is a joke that we are 
being asked to hand a blank check to an agency that has turned into a 
regime secret police.
  This is not border security. It is extortion. Republicans are holding 
the paychecks of hardworking TSA officers hostage to bankroll an agency 
that kidnaps U.S. children and dumps them across the borders, 
terrorizes our neighborhoods with zero accountability, and executes 
American citizens in cold blood.
  My constituents don't want stopgap cowardice. They want a government 
that doesn't terrorize them.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield an additional 30 seconds to the 
gentlewoman from California.
  Mrs. TORRES of California. We are not just debating a budget. We are 
debating whether this House has the backbone to stand up to an 
administration that is addicted to cruelty.
  If Members want to fund violence, do it on your own time. Do not do 
it with the blood and the tax dollars of hardworking American people. 
Bring the bipartisan Senate bill to the floor. Stop

[[Page H2801]]

the games, stop the sabotage, or get out of our way because we will win 
these elections, and we will take back America.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Roy), my colleague on the Rules Committee.
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, let's be clear about why we are here. Our 
Democrat colleagues created a national crisis by purposely allowing 
millions of people into the United States in violation of our laws, 
resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.
  People like Jocelyn Nungaray whose mom I talked to today, who is 
watching what is happening here in realtime. It is people like Laken 
Riley, Rachel Morin, and tens of thousands of our children who died 
from fentanyl poisoning, all created by purposeful, political decisions 
by the previous administration and my colleagues on the other side of 
the aisle.
  Now, we sit here today and my colleagues falsely claim that CBP and 
ICE are funded. The fact is, first, line staff are being mostly funded 
by virtue of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but it leaves out civilian 
and support staff. That is the truth, factual truth.
  Today, we had a quote from one of them. It says: The Senate bill paid 
TSA, but thousands of CBP and ICE professional staff will not be paid. 
The last paid workday for me was February 13. Now Senate on paid 
vacation until April 13. That is a guarantee for 2 months no pay. Very 
likely we won't be paid until May if Speaker Johnson lets this bill 
pass.
  That is existing staff, watching what we are doing in realtime.
  Second, not one, not one of my Democratic colleagues voted for the 
One Big Beautiful Bill Act they are hiding behind right now saying that 
the staff is paid. Not one.
  Last night, yes, there was a voice vote in the middle of the night. 
This comment that somehow there was massive votes in support of this 
bill is simply not true.
  There was a voice vote. The only, and I mean the only, barrier to 
getting funding for our law enforcement personnel and Border Patrol and 
ICE who are standing on the line to defend our country are five to 
seven Democrats in the Senate who refused to let the bill move through 
while allowing it to be filibustered at a 60-vote threshold.
  Sheridan Gorman is dead, a student at Loyola, who was killed by Jose 
Medina, who was illegally present in the United States, who came in in 
2023, and this just happened. My colleagues on the other side of the 
aisle do not want ICE doing their job, do not want Border Patrol doing 
their job, and are right here today refusing to do the job of funding 
this fully.
  Mr. Speaker, I stand with Speaker Johnson. I stand with my 
colleagues. We should stand with Border Patrol. We should stand with 
ICE, and we should defend the United States of America.

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I know the gentleman has a tough primary, but let me 
say, for the record, that none of us are hiding behind the big, ugly 
bill. We would not vote for a bill that cut Medicaid by a trillion 
dollars or cut SNAP by $200 billion. We certainly wouldn't vote for a 
bill that would provide multiyear funding for ICE.
  That is just the reality. You did that, and so there is funding for 
ICE. I will just say to the gentleman that if he has a problem with 
this bill, he should check with Senator Cornyn, who is in the 
Republican leadership, and Senator Cruz who, by the way, I think you 
worked for.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Green).
  Mr. GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, and still I rise, Mr. Speaker, and I 
rise tonight in the name of the TSA worker that made an appeal. I rise 
in the name of justice for the TSA workers. This worker said to me as I 
made my way through the airport, help us. We have families to feed. 
Help us. Fight for us.
  This bill does not help those workers. It is dead on arrival. The 
bill that can help the workers is the compromised bill that came out of 
the Senate. This bill is dead. The Senate bill lives, and it will help 
those workers. They have families to feed. They must put food on the 
table. This bill doesn't do it. It is the Senate bill. It is the 
compromised bill. You don't want compromise. You want capitulation. 
Democrats will not capitulate.

                              {time}  2250

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, this debate has not changed the basic facts one bit. 
There is a bill that can pass the House. There is a bill that can 
become law. There is a bill that can end this shutdown. Speaker Johnson 
is refusing to bring it to the floor. That is the whole story.
  Republicans can dress this up however they want. They can hold all 
the conference calls they want. They can play all the procedural games 
that they want. None of it changes the truth. This shutdown is 
continuing because the Republican Speaker of the House is too weak to 
stand up to the extremists running his conference.
  While Republicans can't seem to face reality in Washington, people 
all over the country are living with the consequences: The TSA agent 
worried about rent; the Coast Guard spouse trying to stretch a paycheck 
that is not coming; the FEMA worker left hanging; the family stuck in 
chaos at the airport because this Republican Congress cannot do its 
job.
  Now, let me be clear that those people are not pawns in some power 
struggle. They are not leverage. They are the people that we are 
supposed to serve, and, still, Republicans are failing them.
  This CR isn't some serious answer. It is not. It is a joke. It is a 
joke. It is a plan to provide cover for a Speaker who knows exactly 
what needs to be done but does not have the guts to do it.
  We all know the Senate bill is the exit ramp. So take it. Take it. 
Bring it up, pass it, and end this mess. That is what responsible 
people would do. That is what a real Speaker would do. That is what 
leadership is all about.
  Tonight, if this shutdown continues, the American people should 
remember this moment. They should remember that the solution was 
sitting right here, ready to go, ready for a vote, and ready to pass. 
One man, Speaker   Mike Johnson, said no.
  Republicans, you own this. You own every delayed flight, every missed 
paycheck, every family under stress, and every hour of avoidable pain. 
This is a Republican shutdown. How dare you do this to the American 
people. People are tired of being jerked around. People are tired of 
being screwed over by your policies that favor the Epstein class at the 
expense of working people. Here we have a chance to help pay Federal 
workers, to keep our government running and Homeland Security, and you 
say no. You say no.
  In the Senate it was a unanimous vote. Every Republican Senator went 
along with it. Not a single one of them objected. Even the most 
conservative right wing Senator did not object to it. Yet, that is not 
enough for you. That is not enough for you. Shame on you. Shame on this 
institution for not rising to the moment.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge defeat of the previous question, and I urge a 
defeat of this rule. This is a lousy process. Shame on Republicans.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks 
to the Chair.
  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to 
close.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to close this debate with a clear and 
unwavering message to my colleagues across the aisle and across the 
rotunda: you cannot fund only half of our Homeland Security.
  There has been a lot of loud voices from the other side of the aisle. 
I think they believe the louder they speak the more the American people 
will believe them. The American people do understand that this CR makes 
sense. It funds everything, people get paid, and it allows more time to 
continue the discussion. This is the commonsense thing to do.
  The proposal sent to us by the Senate in the dead of the night is not 
a solution. It is a Swiss cheese funding bill defined by its holes and 
deficiencies. While we all agree on the importance of protecting our 
airports, the Senate plan operates on the hope that we can secure our 
borders by using supplemental funds meant for construction and 
technology to cover basic operational needs.

[[Page H2802]]

  The current bill does not just ignore the border. It actively harms 
our border security infrastructure. It keeps our cybersecurity experts 
at CISA furloughed while adversaries target our networks. It leaves 
FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund depleted and keeps our Coast Guard crews 
from the training they need to operate in hazardous conditions.
  Our 60-day CR ensures that over 100,000 DHS employees receive 
paychecks. It ensures that investigations into drug trafficking, human 
smuggling, and child exploitation can commence.
  It ensures that our BioWatch systems remain active in over 30 major 
cities to warn us of bioterrorism attacks.
  The American people are tired of games. They do not want half-
security or partial funding. They want a government that protects them 
at the airport, at the hospital, and at the border.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to stop holding our homeland 
defenders hostage to push a radical open-border agenda. Support this 
rule, support this CR, and let's get back to the business of securing 
the entire United States.
  The material previously referred to by Mr. McGovern is as follows:

 An amendment to H. Res. 1142 Offered by Mr. McGovern of Massachusetts

       Strike ``with an amendment consisting of the text of Rules 
     Committee Print 119-21''.
       At the end, insert the following:
       ``Sec. 2. The Speaker is directed to sign the enrolled bill 
     no later than one calendar day after adoption, and the Clerk 
     is directed to present the bill to the President immediately 
     upon signature by the Senate President.''.

  Mrs. FISCHBACH. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and 
I move the previous question on the resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on ordering the previous 
question.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 
will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on 
the question of adoption of the resolution.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 209, 
nays 206, not voting 17, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 107]
