We have done our job. President Trump is doing his. The House has passed a spending bill that keeps our government open, funds our military, and helps protect healthcare for millions of low-income children, but Senate Democrats only want to obstruct President Trump. They are opposed to a bill that has everything in it that they are not opposed to, but they hold out for more. Why? Because they are putting amnesty for illegal immigrants above law- abiding citizens. This is unacceptable. They are putting amnesty for illegal immigrants ahead of healthcare for low-income children. They are putting amnesty for illegal immigrants ahead of funding our military. They won't allow anything that includes President Trump's wall. This is inexcusable. We need border security. We need to keep our government open. We need to fund our military. And we need to provide healthcare for millions of low-income children. This is not a complicated matter, and voters should hold Democrats in the House and Senate responsible. ____________________

I have spoken with Diego. The Secretary of State’s office is too important to be lost to out-of-touch, left-wing Democrats who put Hoosiers last.

We really live in a nation where Olive Garden's Never-Ending Pasta Pass is more secure than our elections! Make it make sense. Pass the SAVE America Act.
