Richard Shelby: “If they can complete them, we would not need to spend that money with Russia; right?”

I am concerned about this--what this communicates to both our allies and our adversaries.

Because the administration has refused to fund the construction of a comprehensive barrier along the border, it has been compelled to send the National Guard to deal with the consequences.

A lot of people, including this Senator, believe that the request is not enough considering the problems in the world.

I am deeply concerned, however, that the administration's failure to direct the appropriate resources to the crisis at the southern border has resulted in shifting the burden to the Guard.
