Speaker Boehner: Playing Politics With Our National Security

Speaker Boehner and Republicans continue to use the broken immigration system, the Department of Homeland Security and our national security as a political ploy – perpetuating false propaganda about enforcing our immigration laws.  Rather than building upon the President's move and ensuring our nation's safety is uncompromised, see what they prefer to do:

[Speaker Boehner] assured members that his plan to challenge Obama has not changed, even in the wake of a terrorist attack on Paris that's put national security issues back on the front page.  [MSNBC, 1/8]

Department of Homeland Security is only funded through Feb. 27 – Republicans want to use the deadline as leverage to block the immigration spending.  [Fox News, 1/8]

House Speaker John Boehner is promising a fight on immigration that has the potential to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.  [TPM, 1/8]

Americans on both sides of the aisle know a fix to our broken immigration has been long overdue.  That is why President Obama took the first step to improving it and ensuring our laws are enforced.

At every instant, Speaker Boehner and Republicans lurch toward obstruction and dysfunction.  When will they realize that their temper tantrums and perilous politics jeopardize our country's and people's safety?
