“It is hard to refute the logic of my friend from Arizona. Mr. McCAIN. May I finish my question? Is it not true that we have said: Look, we welcome any suggestion to improve the bill. I would say respectfully to my friend from Texas it is not true that this is written in golden tablets.

Isn't it true that somehow to allege that we said there could be no changes is patently false? Third, isn't it true this amendment would break the agreement that was a hard-fought agreement?

We are adding National Guard to the border. Personnel is not the challenge, whether it be the Texas border or the Arizona border, what the challenge is, is to use the technology that is existing so we can surveil and intercept. That is what this bill is all about; is that true?”
