Ted Yoho: “No, not at all. They do it because they want to protect the people whom they have been tasked to do. That is all we are…”

“No, not at all. They do it because they want to protect the people whom they have been tasked to do. That is all we are asking for here is border security. So 21 days ago the government shut down, a partial shutdown: 76 to 80 percent of the government is funded. There is a small portion that is not funded. And again, I feel bad for the people who have been furloughed, but today, the legislation passed, as I said, where they are going to be made whole. Since 21 days ago, the government has been shut down, making this the longest--or we are tying the previous record for the longest shutdown in U.S. history? Why has it been this long? Because the Democrats refuse to come to the table and negotiate a solution. When you have two sides, where one is willing to work and compromise and the other one says not one penny, you are not even at a starting point to compromise. Instead, they would rather bring up messaging bills that don't fund the vital programs. Also, that they can say: We didn't support President Trump's border security. This is hatred at the highest level, yet they talk about tolerance and all this other stuff. They have such a disdain for this President. And again, all he is trying to do is secure this Nation. Well, let's take a look at the last 21 days; on the other side, as you have brought up here, 21 days. On average, 2,000 inadmissible migrants arrive at our southern border daily.…”
