WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement after
House Democrats once again voted to shut down the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS):
“At a time of heightened
national security threats, House Democrats just voted for a second time against
the safety and security of millions of Americans,” said Chairman Gruters.
“After allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour across our border, Democrats
are standing against securing our country and protecting our citizens from
terrorist threats. If innocent Americans are harmed because of the Democrats’
DHS shutdown, the 209 Democrats who blocked funding for our law enforcement
will have blood on their hands.”
