Kendrick Meek: “No money. Yes, we are going to build this fence. It is going to be for 200, or if someone sat in the back room somewhere…”

“No money. Yes, we are going to build this fence. It is going to be for 200, or if someone sat in the back room somewhere off the chamber and said, do not make it 200, make it a 300-mile fence, let's build a fence all of the way, let's put one in the middle of the Gulf, and we are going to run a fence underwater, folks have to put on masks and SCUBA equipment, put it underwater, yeah, that is the ticket. But no money to be able to pay for the fence. Better yet, I think that folks find some sort of gratification or, I guess to prove a point, to say we are tough on security. But we are not going to put our money where our mouths are. The same thing, Mr. Speaker, as it relates to Leave No Child Behind. The same thing as it relates to what, Mr. Speaker, Ms. Wasserman Schultz talked about as it relates to the minimum wage. The 30-Something Working Group night after night pounds the Republican majority as it relates to the imbalance of accountability on behalf of the American people that are making minimum wage. We have a proposal on this side of the aisle to raise the minimum wage to $7.25, that will take other workers who are not on the minimum wage, that are making $10, $15 or $20 an hour, their wages will go up. Meanwhile, CEOs are getting everything that they want, making triple-diple time of the worker who is going in there and working every day.”
