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.

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.

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?

As I said in my opening statement, I will get on that bill and try to find a pay-for for it and get it across the finish line.

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

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

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.
