Roger Marshall: “I rise in support of Marshall amendment No. 110 to put an end to the culture of lawlessness at our southern border…”

“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.”
