Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 26, 2026
Dear Americans: Democrats do not care about your safety. They are displaying this right before our very eyes. Democrats do, obviously, before our own eyes, practice political gamesmanship rather than provide real security for our homeland safety. At a time when our Nation faces threat after threat, it is imperative that we have a strong and fully funded Department of Homeland Security. The brave men and women of DHS work hard every single day to keep Americans safe. They have earned our support. How do Democrats repay them for their work? They shut down the Department of Homeland Security. I am proud to stand in support of this resolution today to shine a light on the great work that they do. However, it cannot go unsaid that many of my Democrat colleagues who may vote in favor of this resolution today will still continue to maintain that DHS would be unfunded, as they have voted four separate times against its reopening, purely because of political games. At a time when our Nation faces increased security risks, Democrats are choosing politics over our Nation's safety. They are giving us one crystal clear message: They do not care about Americans' safety.
