"Many of my Republican colleagues... simply see the issue of immigration as a political cudgel."

"Let me assure my colleagues non-citizens arriving at our southwest border don't care who the President of the United States is."

"I don't want our government to stand down given those threats."

"I think as you dramatically reduced the amount of time that it takes to process a claim, I can't help but think that that won't have a deterrent effect."
