(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D.-Texas) took to the House floor on Dec. 12 to explain why, especially in the Christmas season, a shutdown of the federal government should be avoided.
“This is a season where many in our Nation draw together with families and worship and celebrate,” Jackson Lee said.
“It is a very honored time,” she said. “People of the Christian faith are engaged in the recognition and acknowledgment of the birth of baby Jesus. It is a holy time. It is a time when families need resources. Government workers need to ensure that their families are provided for, but also we must ensure that our government is provided for.
“I thank the Speaker-elect and the Democratic leader in the Senate, the other body, for recognizing that we do not want a shutdown,” said Jackson Lee.
Jackson Lee also expressed her opposition to a border wall.
“I will say to the American people: There is no foreign war or attack at the southern border,” she said.
“To juxtapose a stagnant wall to the lives of those fleeing political persecution is untenable,” Jackson Lee said.

fleeing political persecution?
not a one of them.
I’m pretty sure she actually wrote that!
Actually. If you listen to every black democrat. They sound so FREAKING STUPID. Talk about FREAKING MENTALITY impaired.
No, Honey, you are so very wrong here. There is definitely a foreign invasion taking place on our southern border. Your willingness to deny that fact doesn't make it go away.
Trump's wall will.
Just another liberal diatribe; blah, blah, blah...hot air...no cognitive substance.
We must worship the government, pure socialism
Lee has no business speaking on anything Holy. She is a democrat and no matter how much she or anyone else lies about it spins it or twists it democrats are not Christians. The democrat platform is total contradiction to Christianity and does not allow for people to be real Christians.
We need a vaccine for stupidity.
