“You and I were talking last night and you mentioned, in closing, resetting debate. I think that is so important right now. We are talking about appropriations bills, which is fine. I fully supported that. The chairwoman has done a great job. But what we are also hearing now is, the Democrats have now moved to they want a policy debate and policy changes on approps. I thought that is what we were supposed to do in this place, but that is what they want to do whether it is in 2 weeks or 4 weeks or whatever we come up with on this potential CR for DHS. I think it is very important for us to remind the country as to how we got here. This didn't start this weekend in Minneapolis, and it didn't start last year when President Trump came into office. It started in January of 2021 when Joe Biden let 15 million people in here illegally and fought every single attempt to stop it. What we discovered was that laws don't really mean anything if they aren't enforced. Yet we have a President now who ran on this central platform of enforcing our immigration laws and deporting people who are here illegally, and the Democrats cannot accept that.”
