Political Quotes

That does solve the problem. This does not solve the problem. This is just a political ploy, a messaging bill, that does nothing to solve our open borders. Every single Republican witness that has come before the Homeland Security Committee this Congress has acknowledged that the outflow of American-made weapons of war to the cartels in Mexico is a massive cause of crime at the border. Why won't you address it? Why won't you join it? Why won't you even allow the bill to come to the floor? Is it the gun lobby? Is it because you just want to use immigration as a political cudgel, and you don't want to find solutions? Instead of fear-mongering, let's get some solutions together. Let's work together. We are ready. We just need a partner that will stop messaging and start solving problems.
