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 complex and evolving security environment requires a serious commitment to our national defense.

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