Rep. Nick Langworthy Calls On The House Speaker To Act Quickly On Bringing A Homeland Sec Bill To The Floor

“As put on full display for the American people with the attack surrounding the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this weekend, our country remains at risk,” said Congressman Langworthy. “While we continue to have significant work ahead to fully fund immigration enforcement through the reconciliation process, we should demonstrate clearly that we are committed to delivering solutions at the earliest possible moment.”

Congressman Langworthy emphasized that bringing the Senate-passed funding measure to the House floor would send a strong signal that Congress is serious about governing, securing the homeland, and supporting the men and women serving at DHS.

“Bringing this Senate-passed funding measure to the floor would send a strong and immediate signal that we are serious about governing and securing the homeland. It would also provide much needed certainty to the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who should not be facing yet another potential pay interruption.”

Congressman Langworthy urged the Speaker to meet the moment and deliver the kind of leadership Americans deserve, saying “The American people are not interested in the Washington scorecard or Capitol Hill bickering—they want us to lead and get this done. They are looking for action. They want solutions, even if they are partial, and they expect leadership in moments like this.”

He noted that while Republicans continue working toward broader, long-term reforms to fully fund immigration enforcement, stabilizing funding for the vast majority of DHS operations should happen immediately.
