Every day the Democrats refuse to fund DHS, they choose politics over the safety and security of our great Nation. They continue to be the party of open borders and 'defund the police.' This just in over the wires, Mr. President. Breaking: The FBI warned police departments in California that Iran wants to retaliate for American attacks by launching offensive drones against the west coast, according to an alert. That is from ABC News. We can expect these threats to ramp up every day. Meanwhile, my colleagues across the aisle refuse to fund DHS. This is a political reason. You know, folks back home ask me: Why don't the Democrats come to the table? Well, that is just the issue--they won't even come to the table. The White House gave them a new deal, but the Democrats refuse to sit down with the White House and do any further negotiation. There has been no negotiation any further for weeks now at the subcommittee level, at the committee chair level, at the whip level, at the leadership level with our leader and their leader. They refuse to sit down with us. That is what America needs to understand. The Democrats won't even sit down to have this discussion. That is because it is a political issue that they happen to like. But we are a party of law and order. We are a party and we are a nation that wants secure borders, and we want law and order.

I am ruling out any appointment in the Trump administration at least through the next two or two or three years.

When you let millions of people migrate through Central America this way, we saw the screwworm just come with them — whether it was on their pets or maybe they were bringing livestock.
