“I wish to compliment our colleague. I know the Senator from Georgia wishes to speak so I will simply say this: Senator Cornyn and I proposed something rather radical here and that is that we actually put our money where our mouth is. That is to say, all the things we authorized, all the things the President requested to make sure we can secure the border, we actually fund so we can get the job done. That is what this amendment does. It basically takes the difference between what we said we want to do and what we fund and closes the gap so we fund it all. It is an important amendment to ensure that we can secure the border first as part of a comprehensive immigration reform. I appreciate the work my colleague Senator Cornyn has done. I am proud to cosponsor it. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Georgia.”
