When we come to the floor to talk about the border crisis, it is a lot like the film Groundhog Day. If you listen closely, I think you can hear ``I Got You Babe'' by Sonny and Cher, and it is probably echoing through this Chamber as we…

Madam President, it was such a joy to be in Tennessee last week and visit with so many of our local officials, and I had the opportunity to spend some time with some of our sheriffs. And one of the sheriffs made a point that I think…
