OP-ED: Government Shutdown

For our democratic colleagues to hold the military funding and children’s health insurance hostage is a complete and shameless reversal.

My fellow Texans,

Our colleagues in the House did their job. They passed a continuing resolution to keep the government up and running until February the 16th. Our friends on the other side of the aisle do not oppose a single thing in the bill that the House passed.

Paychecks could cease. Services will be disrupted. All because of an unrelated immigration issue that won’t get resolved if the government shuts down.

For our democratic colleagues to hold the military funding and children’s health insurance hostage is a complete and shameless reversal.

We have been negotiating in good faith on a solution for the DACA recipients, and we will continue to do so. But shutting down the government will not solve that problem, and millions of people, including our military, law enforcement, and emergency personnel could lose their paycheck. 

The time to stop playing games is now.

U.S. Senator from the great State of Texas,
Sen. John Cornyn
