“Madam President, I rise in support of Marshall amendment No. 110 to put an end to the culture of lawlessness at our southern border embraced by our President. I cannot in good conscience support this debt limit deal and saddle my grandchildren with this $4 trillion in additional debt. This bill misses the mark, and, perhaps, what is more frustrating is that it does not give a single cent to securing our border--zero dollars to addressing the greatest, most immediate national security threat to our Nation. This past weekend alone, the Border Patrol made over 13,000 apprehensions. There were over 4,000 ``got-aways''; and they seized 118 pounds of meth, 14 pounds of fentanyl, and apprehended 6 sex offenders and 5 gang members. We have a crisis unfolding at our southern border, and it is happening right now in plain sight. It is impacting every community across the country. I will not sit here, form committees, and pray about it. We need action today. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator's time is expired.”
