When one side of the aisle has chosen to get rid of the idea of having a secure border, I don't think that syncs up with the majority of Americans.

Illegals currently, I would say, are going to cost the country just trillions and trillions of dollars in net.

When one side of the aisle has chosen to get rid of the idea of having a secure border, I don't think that syncs up with the majority of Americans.

But I think what we've got to get to the bottom of, since everyone wants something to work better, is how do we get there?

Until you abandon the current policies that seem to promote a completely open border, it puts in peril the ones that want to come into this country.

I do not think so. I am going to vote for it. It is not going to pass anyway.

You are giving them fish rather than teaching them to fish, and that is an unmitigated disaster for our country if we do not teach work ethic.

The Greatest Generation, that grew up in the Depression, fought a World War, highest debt we ever had, paid it off, built the interstate highways.

I would suggest get the grants from places that will have them available, dependably, and that is from entities that cash-flow and do not borrow to do it.

I think that when it comes to funding, probably it is going to be harder to get, because if you are going more and more in debt, you are asking your kids and grandkids to pay for it.

I led a bicameral letter with 67 of my colleagues, including Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, who came in when I did back in 2018, objecting to the then-proposed rule which would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and over $30 billion…

That would be an unmitigated disaster for our entire nation because you do not reinvent the American farmer.

As Senator Braun and all of us have pointed out, that is not the case.

We urge you to take up this legislation and help fix this travesty.

Older Americans play such a critical role throughout the economy.

I do not think so. I am going to vote for it. It is not going to pass anyway.

Many businesses that I talk to that have had the kids do not want to be on the farm because you get so much more done.

Is there anything you can do to help law enforcement funding, particularly make it to the small agencies?

I want to have you tell us, in your own life, inflation has never been as bad as it is now.

I do not think that is going away, and we need to do a better job of that here in Indiana.

Why, if there is nothing broken, would you try to fix it?
