WASHINGTON — Friday, U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, and other representatives sent a letter to U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., requesting that the House-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security be approved for debate in the U.S. Senate.
“Three times, you and other members of your caucus have prevented even a debate of the House-passed Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill,” the letter read. “While we understand that you and many of your Democrat colleagues are opposed to the provisions in the House-passed bill that would defund President [Barack] Obama’s effective rewriting of our immigration laws, you should at least support debating the merits of such an important funding bill and offer amendments to the provisions you wish to change.”
