when i was sitting next to bill collins on the fellowship we would chop the heads off mosquitoes thatinfected so they would pick of malaria from the monkey house. they would bring them to the monkey house where they were infected with malaria that they would bring them back to the lab, sometimes two weeks to develop the egg sac and then we would put them on the mega- fighting machine, chop off their head and then i would hand it to bill and he would look under a microscope for the parasites and doing that one day an infected mosquito flew off and i say we have a problem here. he was such a colorful interesting man. he looked up and said i hated to see that. i didn't understand them well enough yet because i hadn't launched them haven't launched them into the different species to try to understand the differences between then and i lunged forward and slapped the life out of it and killed it today i could see his mouth curl up and i told my husband i was in a room with an infectious mosquito. i could conjure its malaria but it wasn't until about five years later i started studying monke

i don't personally believe the collins bill is a compromise. it would undermine law enforcement and tear families apart. so until full-year funding for the homeland security department is enacted i'll vote against going to the collins bill. after a clean bill is signed into law i'm happy to have a vigorous debate on immigration and the best way to fix our broken system. i want to be very clear mr. president, that democrats would be willing to expedite the plan that by have before us by consent. in conclusion let me thank the majority leader for working with democrats to come to a solution on the impasse that we've been faced with for the last four weeks. mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i move to proceed to the motion to reconsider the vote 53, on which cloture vote was not invoked on the motion to proceed to h.r. 240. the presiding officer: the question is on the motion. all in favor signify by saying aye. those opposed no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. the motion is agr

president, this morning the senate will complete work on a bill to fund the department of homeland security and then we'll turn to senator collins' bill, commonsense legislation that would protect our democracy from the egregious example of executive overreach we saw in november. it actually, in my view, deserves broad support. remember president obama said more than 20 times he couldn't take those kinds of actions. he even referred to overreach like that as -- quote -- "ignoring the law." so explins senator collins' measure follows the law instead of ignoring it. it provides democrats who led constituents to believe there was executive overreach with a chance to show they were at least a little bit serious when they said that. democrats won't achieve that by filibustering homeland security and democrats won't achieve it by holding hypocritical press conference just hours after voting to block funding for d.h.s. but they can help us pass a sensible bill from senator collins that would hold the executive branch to account. after so many weeks of senseless filibustering, that's the least these democrats owe their constituents. the

bill in the manager's package. i hope there's going to be a way to come to agreement on this important anti-discrimination language. because senator collins and i will insist on our bill being considered as a memo on the floor what is reported is brought up for consideration. i support efforts to combat trafficking and to protect all victims. i will continue to work with the office the other trafficking bills and with senator collins to make sure our trafficking provision receives a vote by the full senate. now imported today we will be voting, finally, finally finally on the nomination of loretta lynch to serve as our next attorney general following an unprecedented delay by my friends in the republican party. i had been here 40 years and no attorney general no attorney general has ever had to wait this long for a vote. her nomination is listed today for the second time to be reported today. loretta lynch is a superb prosecutor. she is prosecuted terrorist cases. she is prosecuted people in the government and out of the government. she is a prosecutors prosecutor. she's earned the respect and admiration of both republicans and democrats.

but in event we will have the vote on the collins bill on friday. with that let me turn to senator cornyn. >> over the last week recess, a very important decision was handed down by the federal court in brownsville texas, ruling in a case brought by 26 states, including texas, claiming that the president's executive action was illegal. the court wrote a lengthy opinion in excess of 100 pages long and issued a temporary injunction barring implementation of the executive action. as you know, the administration now is seeking a stay of that at the federal district court. if they don't get it there, which they won't, they will then go to the fifth circuit court of appeals in new orleans. but the most important point i think we need to acknowledge is that with this federal court injunction in place, any money that the united states congress appropriates for the department of homeland security will not go to fund the president's illegal executive action. because it's barred by a federal court injunction and subject to a contempt of court finding if that w

>> let's see what bill they bring up. if it's collins -- it would be longer than the keystone pipeline. >> just to claire fy, you won't give speaker boehner cover for a temporary c.r. two weeks two months? >> that question cover, what can i give cover to the american people so their homeland is protected. the cover for the speaker is very much less important than the cover that the american people need from us to do our job and to pass a homeland security bill. but getting back to immigration point for a moment, understand this and you probably know this just to review. the president of the united states acted with full legal authority under the law and with precedent. and with the ability for prosecutorial discretion to protect the people that he did. president ronald reagan, president george herber walker bush president clinton, president george w. bush, all acted -- and presidents before them. president nixon eisenhower. just trying to go into your lifetimes here. reagan, the president said if you don't like what i have done, act. pas

but in any event, we will have the vote on thing collins bill -- on the collins bill on friday. with that, let me turn to senator cornyn. >> so over the, other the last week -- over the last week recess a very important decision was handed down by the federal court in brownsville, texas ruling in a case brought by 26 states including texas claiming that the president's executive action was illegal. the court wrote a lengthy opinion in excess of 100 pages long and issued a temporary injunction barring implementation of the executive action. as you know, the administration now is seeking a stay of that at the federal district court and they don't get it there -- which they won't -- they will then go to the fifth circuit court of appeals in new orleans. but the most important point i think we need to acknowledge is that with this federal court injunction in place any money that the united states congress appropriates for the department of homeland security will not go to fund the president's illegal executive action. because it's barred by a federal court injunction. and it's subje

meanwhile a separate bill from susan collins to defund those actions failed to advance in the senate. subcommittee. issues discussed include water systems and funding and regulatory compliance. this runs about 90 minutes. >> i would like to call the hearing to order and recognize myself for opening statement. today's hearing focuses on challenges facing rural water systems. i congratulate and thank the ranking member of the subcommittee and the vice chairman of the subcommittee for their bipartisan work to raise a profile of this issue before the subcommittee. according to census bureau 27% of the u.s. population lives in rural areas. the smallest water systems account for 77% of all systems. as someone who probably represents communities and small town and rural america i'm glad we have bipartisan interest in tackling this subject. under the safe drinking water act small and rural drinking water supply systems are subject to a number of drinking water regulations issued by epa. these requirements include systems monitoring treatment to remove certain contaminants. it's erratic these

but these are reasonable criteria and these are not changed by the collins bill in any way.the 2012 executive order stands. sova laid my friend from illinois the argument is focused on the fact he wants an expansion of these criteria and to add other categories of individuals that is what the november november 2014 immigration action does and has nothing to do with the status of the individuals who were allowed to stay in this country as a result of the 2012 executive order. my amendment protects from those who benefited. we have basin's year disagreement with what is appropriate to and what needs to be done by legislation even though i support the policies better in the a executive order i don't think the president can unilaterally proclaim those changes. >> would you yield for a question. >> if it is brief. >> of the senator acknowledges the president had the authority in 2012 to issue the executive order under teeeighteen to spell out the criteria that they are not above the age of 30, why does the senator disagree with this situation? if there 29 years old, eligible for

in the senate, two key votes to fund homeland security through september and then a bill from republican susan collinsenge the president's 2014 immigration executive action. over the in the house, a less certain path. democrats worry the funding bill will get bogged down with all sorts of riders and they say they won't let that happen but republicans were on the house and even then, it has 435 voting voices, many of whom represent safe conservative districts whose constituents want their representative to hold the president accountable on immigration. >> we have two different indianapolis institutions that don't have the same body temperature every day. so we tend to try to work to narrow the differences but sometime there is are differences. >> reporter: after a late-day meeting, house lawmakers are now talking about a three-week continuing resolution. meanwhile, the senate's on its path to fund homeland security through september. sometimes the sausage making just suspect pretty. bret? >> march could be interesting. thanks. >>> the nation's top intelligence official says the terror threat has never

who expressed disapproval of the president executive action to vote for a bill that expresses that disapproval the so-called collins bill. now, my strong preference would be to pass the house bill that's been filibustered four separate times by our democratic friends because it fully funds the department while reining in the president's overreach. but since the democrats have refused on four different occasions to even allow the bill to come to the floor with the excuse that it's tied to department of homeland security funding, we're going to give them an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is. in other words we're going to see if they can take yes for an answer. and if all the occasions where my colleagues said they were uncomfortable with the president's actions aren't enough if the 22 times the president himself said he didn't have the authority to issue this executive action, well, we now know during the recess from last week that a federal judge in texas has given us one more reason. a week ago u.s. district judge andrew hanen in brownsville, texas ruled in a lawsuit brought by 26 different states

bill. once the measure we voted on yesterday is complete the senate will consider sensible legislation from senator collins. her bill is really quite simple. it would protect our democracy from the most egregious example of executive overreach we saw back in november. it's overreach described by president obama himself as ignoring the law. senator collins' measure simply takes the president at his word and helps him follow the law instead of ignoring it. it's hard to see how any senator could oppose such a good commonsense idea. so we look forward to that vote. now on a different matter, later today the obama administration's f.c.c. will take autopsy proposal favored by the president -- take up a proposal favored by the president that would stroke a blow to the future of innovation in our country. it's the so-called net neutrality rule. the growth of the internet and the rapid adoption of mobile technology have been a great american success story and they were made possible by a light regulatory touch. in fact, it's this bipartisan light touch consensus that allowed innovators to develop and sell the produ

and senator collins' sensible bill focuses simply on preventing the most egregious example of conceiveoverreach from -- of executive overreach from taking effect. it's as simple as that. her bill isn't tied to the funding of d.h.s., so there are no excuses left. democrats should join us in voting for this common sense legislation. in the meantime we've offered democrats a chance to prove they are serious about something else and that is funding the department of homeland security. it is something to watch democrats block to vote funding for this department one day then hold a hypocritical press conference the next. democrats need to end their weeks' long filibuster of homeland security funding and end it right now. we continually offered them sensible opportunities to do so. yesterday we offered them yet another. but it will require their cooperation to achieve. the dual-pronged approach i've outlined allowing the senate to stop unwise and unfair overreach on one hand and to fund d.h.s. through the fiscal year on the other is a sensible way forward. but it can't be achieved without cro

bill passed. they did try to move forward on senator collins' bill that would have blocked a couple of the president's immigration orders. that fell short. and the issue of immigration has been the key issue all along. senator rubio talked about that. he is at the conservative political action conference. here's what he had to say about that issue. >> it's a serious problem that has to be confronted and it does. and we don't have the mechanisms in place to enforce our immigration laws. we don't track -- 40% of the legal immigrants come legally and overstay. we have to put that in place. there are three sectors of the border, one in particular that are completely insecure. it needs more patrols. we have a legal immigration system that is the most generous in the world. a million people come to this country but all based on whether or not you have a family member here and can't continue to be based on family alone but some sort of merit or economic contribution. that has to be dealt with as well. and yeah, you have 10 to 12 million people who have not violated our laws. i get all that. but you can't beg

collins amendment. as i understand the strategy of the republican party in the house, it is to add the bill that has been rejected of four times on the floor of the united states senate. it did not open up. they went twice, did not open up. three times, did not open up. now, the proposal was to go into that cul de sac a fifth time while we focus on whether or not we are going to fund homeland security, not on the objectives of homeland security. ladies and gentlemen, i thank you for one additional minute. >> the gentleman has one additional minute. >> i urge republicans and democrats who have all said not funding the homeland security department now for the balance of the year is -- mr. rogers did not quote this -- it is ill-conceived and wrong. i therefore madam speaker, urge my colleagues to vote against this showed -- short-term c.r. and to vote for the senate bill that will be sent to us in just a short period of time, today which passed of the united states senate with over two thirds vote. democrats only have 46 members. almost a majority of the republicans voted for it as well. madam speaker, that

so senator collins is absolutely right when she says that this is a jobs bill that will create more jobs. it also creates a lot of indirect jobs. i was pleased senator collins pointed out that the ingredients on craft breweries come from the community, so they're helping local farmers they're helping local industries grow, which are generally small businesses also, so it helps other small businesses grow by the way that they grow. one -- one interesting fact is that we're now starting to see an increase in craft beer exports. there's a real desire for craft -- our craft brews outside of the united states. it's a relatively new phenomenon nom, but it grew and we're up to now 283,000 barrels that are exported and i expect you will see those numbers increase greatly. i had this chart prepared of some of the maryland craft breweries. they're becoming well known outside my state of maryland. i already mentioned heavy seas and flying dog is one that i had a chance to visit. there are many others, including some that whose name i think are synonymous with my state such as raven beer, ellicott m

they can move on a clean bill and that's what the democrats can say. republican susan collinssion inserted in the house bill that was the poisonous bill. they can act, act with common sense and stop doing these repetitive votes over and over again to do the same kind of thing. this does not have to be obamacare all over again. >> mercedes do you think this will happen? >> i think they will be in a very difficult position. you heard speaker boehner come out the past couple of days talking about the idea of moving forward on litigation joining maybe possibly and filing a lawsuit with the 26 other states that oppose the president's unilateral action on immigration, so this opens up you know, a big situation here for republicans. i think that they are going to get -- it's going to be hard. they will either have to do some sort of short-term funding or a cr, and that's going to make it very complicated for the republicans but they need to stand strong in opposing the president on his actions. >> always a pleasure to see you. >> thank you, jose. >> after the break, the isis threat.

bill. another option that has been floated, senator collins introduced an amendment that would take out the controversial piece decrying the president's action rolling back doca. democrats, even those who said in november when the president made his immigration actions that they did not approve the way he did it, they do not appear like they are willing to vote with republicans. if they cannot get on to the bill, senate republicans want house republicans to send in a new piece of legislation, and that puts john boehner back in a precarious situation where he has to fight off his right flank and pass something else that the senate can pass. none of the options look good. it is going to be between mitch mcconnell and house speaker john boehner to work out. >> let's look at the house, because they will take up a measure that passed in the senate. the senate passed the keystone xl pipeline bill. they will take up that bill instead of going to conference. why that choice? >> it would reduce the amount of time. they want to get this on the president's desk as fast as possible. they want to have t

funding taken care of, will you have the collins bill? >> i said make sure you all understand this. the president signs homeland security. we don't need 60 votes. we relish a debate on immigration but it's after we fully fund homeland security. >> how would you amend that bill? >> the senator said we have two or three weeks work on that bill and would be longer than the keystone leader. >> you won't give speaker boehner cover for a temporary c.r., two weeks, two months? >> we need to have our homeland is protected. it's not the cover for the speaker is less important than the cover than the american people need from us to do our job and to pass a homeland security bill. getting back to the immigration point for a moment, understand and you probably know this the president of the united states acted with full legal authority under the law and with precedent and with the ability for prosecutorial discretion to protect the people. president ronald reagan and president herbert walker bush president clinton, president george bush and president eisenhower and president nixon, reagan the p

bill. one other option that has been floated senator collins introduced an amendment that would essentially take out the controversial piece decrying the president's 2012 action rolling back dacka there. but still include language that would make senate republicans hold democrats accountable for what the president did in 2014 on his executive action. of course democrats even though who said in november that they didn't approve of the way he did it they don't appear like they're willing to vote with republicans on that. so that's an unlikely option. and what we're hearing is that if they cannot get on to the bill senate republicans want the house republicans to send them a new piece of legislation. of course that puts house speaker john boehner back in a precarious situation where he has to sort of fight off his right flank and look to pass something else that the senate can pass. so none of the options here look good. and it certainly is going do be between mitch mcconnell and house speaker john boehner to work out. >> the house is going to take up a measure passed in the senate. snelt the

bill. one other option that has been floated sen. collins introduced an amendment that would take out the controversial piece decrying the president's 2012 action of rolling back, but still including language that would make senate republicans hold democrats accountable. of course even those who said they did not approve of the way he did it they do not appear to look like they are willing to vote with republicans. that is an unlikely option. if they cannot get onto the bill senate republicans want house republicans to send them a new peace of legislation which puts the house speaker in a precarious situation where he has to fight off his right flank and look to pass something else. i think none of the options look good and it will certainly be between mitch mcconnell and the house speaker to work out. >> lets quickly look at the house because they we will take up the measure passed in the senate the keystone xl pipeline bill. >> i think that it -- they want to get this on the president's desk as fast as possible. the president has said he w

pass a clean homeland security bill and then go to the floor and debate amendments. debate senator collins' amendment, despate senator cruz's amendment, debate any immigration amendments you want. but to repeat we will not be held hostage. the american people don't want a gun to their head particularly when it involves security to debate immigration. we know that. we know what the junior senator from texas is doing. everyone on the other side knows it. and, of course, we're not going to go along. so my dear friend from maine comes up with a new solution. all it is it's still hostage taking because it's attached to funding the homeland security bill. we're now only debating the size of the ransom. and we will not do it. we are not going to be pressured, be bullied that we have to do this or that immigration reform as a price to fund homeland security. it's too vital to america it's too vital to our country, it is not the way legislating should work, and my dear colleagues from the other side should have learned the lesson a year and a half ago when they threatened to shut down the governmen

bill. part of the article includes what might develop today. senator susan collinssides entitled an amendment that would allow the president's 2012 executive action creating creating the deep hurt action for childhood arrival program to continue while reversing the immigration workers. the president unveiled in november. quote, i filed my amendment to showing committed to bringing an alternative to the bill bill and i hope democrats will look at that and some of them will reach a different conclusion she said of the democratic filibuster blocking the debate. again today the senate will try for a third time to improve funding for the department of homeland security. that begins when lawmakers gaveled the next 10:30 eastern. here's a look at some of the db. cornyn mr. leading up to devote beginning the vote beginning with senator cornyn, blun t and schumer. >> yesterday our friends across the aisle blocked by filibusters funding a $40 billion funding bill that would have paid the funds necessary to keep the department of homeland security up and running through the re

as a testament to this fact, the bill is co-sponsored by two of my democrat colleagues here in the house representatives collin peterson and loretta sanchez. i owe them a debt of gratitude for their efforts in promoting this commonsense bill. the text of h.r. 50 has passed the house on a bipartisan basis three times in the 112th and 113th congress. the bill was most recently favorably reported by the oversight government and reform committee. a common refrain in this business is that, quote, nobody wants to see how the sausage is made end quote. meaning that the process of drafting and passing legislation is so ugly that it would repulse people. in this case i disagree. i'm extremely proud of this bill and i'm proud of the process by which it has been advanced in the house. i've had the pleasure of working with colleagues from both sides of the aisle on this measure and i appreciate their support and counsel. the unfunded mandates reform and transparency act of 1995 was a model for bipartisanship and my hope is that this bill leaves a similar legacy. i urge all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to su

most logical one because it has broad support, currency bill that i authored along with senator brown, senator stab now, senator graham, senator collins and senator sessions, got 60 votes a while ago. and so, what i am asking you is now we have heard some talk from the administration that currency is not going to be part of tpp whether against japan, which is part of tppp or more important to me, although japan is important to me, china, which takes more jobs away, doesn't play fair, steals our intellectual property. when america has a good product, 80% of the time or so we don't let it in and we just shrug our shoulders and it's estimated that millions of jobs have gone away. so, my question 'cause i know my time is running out okay, will you will the administration support some kind of rigorous controls on currency manipulation aimed alongside this bill of china, if not in the bill and in the bill aimed at japan? i have heard that we said that kur ribbon currency should not be part of tpp and i think that would be a wrong move. tell us about currency and tpp and tpa. when i say tpp i mean both. >> senator, may i respond? >> yes you

collins didn't correct it in her column. now, what do you think? >> well, i was surprised by. this i thought this was a pretty glaring error bill.he said was. she was using the governor had said something about megan sampson is using her as an example of the damage that unions can do to careers or whatever. and she -- and he said in there did the governor, that she had been teach -- named teacher of the year. well, in fact, she had been named teacher of the year by the state. she had been named best first year english teacher by some outside group. the governor had made what i consider to be kind of a minor error. she takes him to task for that. and then she goes on to say that megan sampson lost her job because of budget cuts that walker had put through. well, those budget cuts went into effect before he became governor. it was a glaring error and a bad error. the "new york times" published on the web site a correction two days later, no correction appeared in the newspaper for six days. >> wow. >> now, and it has been customary, bill, as i'm sure you will remember this all through time when a correction is made on the air or i
