Cramer Statement on Democrat's Continued Filibuster of DHS Funding

Statement

Date: March 3, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Government Budget and Spending Immigration

Congressman Kevin Cramer (R-ND) made the following comments after Democrats in the US Senate voted to filibuster legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

"I am disappointed to see the Senate Democrats continue to filibuster funding for DHS. I urge them to reconsider their actions and join the House of Representatives in a Conference Committee to find a compromise on our different bills. The Democrats who criticized President Obama's executive actions on immigration should begin to live up to their words and vote to end this filibuster. It is sad to see the President's actions poisoning bipartisanship in the Congress."
