McClintock is the Chairman of the Federal Lands Subcommittee of the Natural Resources Committee, and is a member of the Budget Committee and the Natural Resources Committee. He is also a member of the Subcommittee on Water, Power and Oceans.
On February 13, 2015 Rep. Tom McClintock of California asked for and was granted permission to address the United States House of Representatives to expose a scandal in Washington. One that is placing the national security of the entire country at risk:
“Mr. Speaker, as we count down the days to the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, a parade of Democrats has appeared on the floor to accuse Republicans of blocking funding.
Have they completely forgotten that the House passed a bill to fully fund the Homeland Security Department back on January 14–31 days ago?
Every House Democrat save two opposed that funding, and, for 31 days, Senate Democrats have blocked it from even being considered.
The fact is that Democrats are willing to block funding for Homeland Security unless they can fund amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
According to a recent ABC-Washington Post poll, the American people want to stop the President’s amnesty orders by a whopping 56-41 percent. Nine Senate Democrats have told their constituents they do, too, but they won’t. Those are the facts.
And, as John Adams said, facts are stubborn things.”

Note: The deadline for the DHS shutdown is February 27th, 2015 by the way. That means tens of thousands of frontline workers won’t get paid! Over 40,000 Border Patrol Agents, 50,000 TSA workers, over 40,000 in the US Coast Guard…
