These are people who promised their constituents not to raise their taxes. And those five no votes just voted for the biggest tax increase in American history.
When we were at the Yuma border a year ago we talked to a group of rank and file Border Patrol agents and one thing I said is, look, we are the Congress. We cannot enforce the laws. We write laws so what laws do you need us to write?
The Chief of the Border Patrol told us at Eagle Pass that he says, I am standing in front of an open fire hydrant with a bucket. I do not need more buckets. I need somebody to shut off the fire hydrant.
When the history of this administration is written, I would not want to be you looking back on what historians say about your tenure.
