mr. levin: when the people of california's 49th district elected me to represent them in congress i didn't imagine i would represent them in a partial government shutdown. when i took the oath of office, i cast my first votes to fund federal agencies that have been shut down by president trump. we have since voted on several similar bills including earlier today. the bills we voted on were not controversial. in fact, they were the same exact bills that senate republicans supported just one month ago and they have received bipartisan support here in the house. in fact, just today, 12 republicans voted to fund and re-open transportation and hud

mr. levin: a discussion is no reason for president trump to keep government shut down. perhaps even more importantly, we cannot and must not allow this president or any president to hold our government and federal workers hostage every time we have a zeement. federal workers in the communities i serve in california are being directly hurt by this shutdown. i heard from a fish and wildlife service employee whose co-workers don't know how to make ends meet. i heard from members of the coast guard and yes, the coast guard is being impacted because they are funded through the department of homeland security. i heard from the coast guard and heard from air traffic controllers and they are being forced to work without pay and this becomes a security issue. and if this president and senate republicans truly cared about security, they would want to fund the coast guard and fund air traffic controllers and fund t.s.a. agents. i have heard from veterans. i have a huge number of veterans in our district and one-third of the federal work force consists of veterans, federal employee

mr. levin: he claims that we're in the middle ofage emergency and i gee -- of an emergency and i actually agree with him on that. i just don't agree on what the emergency is. it's an emergency that more than 5,200 federal workers in michigan are working without pay or are furloughed. it's an emergency that the environmental protection agency has halted inspections of our drinking water systems. and it's an emergency that our president is ready to spend in his words, years prolonging this shutdown and hurting american families for the sake of an ineffective and expensive border wall. on day one, house democrats took the first steps to clean up this mess by passing a complete funding package to reopen our government. now we're preparing further action to reopen all government agencies one by one and remove any doubt that hardworking americans will receive their tax refunds and the services they depend on. enough is enough. one ganders can't afford more day of the trump shutdown. mr. speaker, i yi

mr. levin: the president's stunt did nothing to advance real border security discussions and resulted in a colossal waste of time and resources. he cost the american economy $11 billion, ironically nearly twice as much heas wanted for an ineffective border wall. as the president threatens another shutdown, i rise today to demand that he never again use this cruel tactic. and to instead come to the table, the negotiating table , in good faith. democrats support effective border security solutions and we're here to talk so long as working families are not used as pawns in the political process. thank you and i yield back the alance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the president. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? without objection the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, madam speaker. i rise today to remind people that although it's wintertime, rainy system -- rainy seaso
