                    HOMELAND SECURITY APPROPRIATIONS

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I think they have 
reached a new low. The Republican majority has decided that they are 
willing to shut down the agency that detects, deters, and responds to 
threats in our homeland.
  With an elevated terror alert status and in light of what just 
happened in Paris, they must have a good reason; right? Wrong. They are 
holding essential antiterrorism funding hostage because they want to 
deport the DREAM kids. They are putting our homeland security and our 
entire way of life at risk because they want to separate mothers from 
their children.
  Mr. Speaker, there is a phrase in Spanish for this: ``no tienen 
verguenza,'' which means, ``they have no shame.''
  Stop playing games with our homeland security and put forward a clean 
funding bill.
