Well, there you have it. The American people have their answer. Democrats don't care about securing the border. They never have, and they never will. They pretend to. They continue to choose open borders--more crime, more fentanyl overdoses, more human trafficking, and more American deaths. Democrats will say Republicans tanked the bill that would have secured the border. You just heard that. This is a blatant lie. This bill, crafted by Democrats, would have done absolutely nothing to strengthen the border--not one thing. In fact, it would have made things worse. It would codify the problems that we have had the last 3\1/2\ years. My Republican colleagues have offered real solutions for the last month to fix the problem. We have a huge problem. Somebody needs to recognize that. But my Democratic colleagues have voted against and objected to every single thing that we have brought up. Don't buy into this lie. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
