"Let me make sure I put this in the record, that this relationship with DHS is because we are focused on security, and we want to put that--make sure that is on the table."

"I really plead with my colleagues on the other side to help us find that narrow path so that we can be really united as we address and fight with the Senate for the long-term authorization."

"We have a law--an authorization law on the book that the appropriators failed to fund."
