Defunding DHS?

As the Friday deadline looms to de-fund DHS,

Is the Congress hard at work on compromising? Guess.

If you thought; 'Of course they are... They don't dare drop this ball,'

Sorry to inform you - that was not the proper call.

GOP Conservatives say funding's gonna halt

If they do not get their way, and it's Obama's fault.

All because the President set new priorities

For illegals we deport from our communities.

Focusing on criminals - not kids and moms and dads.

Won't spend shrinking budgets to deport new high-school grads.

That's enraged Republicans enough they say they will

Take a stand on it ('though not an Immigration bill.)

So much for their party's claim of strongest on Defense...

Put us all at risk to build a longer, border fence?

We face bigger threats to our Homeland's Security.

How dare they not pay the folks protecting you and me?

Taken Hostage By Republicans

Hostage threat's been issued and the terror level's high,

'though you'll be surprised at who the threat's been issued by.

Not the goons of ISIL... They just want to see us dead.

Isn't al-Shabab (though they've made malls a place to dread.)

Boko Haram's hostages are children, sold as slaves.

Threat's not from the people who'd love spitting on our graves.

We've been taken hostage from within.  The GOP

Say that they'll refuse to fund Homeland Security.

In a world where we confront new dangers every day

That's so irresponsible it takes my breath away.

Want to block Obama?  Fine. But pick another bone.

Leave the people working to protect us all alone.
