WASHINGTON — House Republicans are voicing their support of H. Res. 1128, a resolution led by Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-Pa.) expressing the House’s support for the Department of Homeland Security, calling for immediate full funding, and backing the personnel who have continued serving through the shutdown.

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) released the following statement:

“It is insulting to the American people that just days after a young woman was murdered by a violent illegal immigrant, Democrats refuse to back the law enforcement officers fighting to take dangerous criminals like that off our streets,” Chairwoman McClain said. “You cannot starve homeland security, weaken immigration enforcement, and then pretend you care about public safety.”

Democrats have dragged out a shutdown that strains operations and helps fuel the lawless agenda they have pushed for years — Republicans are standing with the people who defend the homeland and demanding they have the resources to do the job right.
