Nita Lowey said "Democrats have been clear throughout the Trump shutdown. We support investing in strong, smart, and effective border security, and we are prepared to negotiate once the government is reopened. The solution to the Trump shutdown is simple: Reopen the government; pay off Federal employees; then negotiate on border security. Our proposal will form the basis for these eventual negotiations. It is time to end the Trump shutdown. Vote for this package of six bills that reflects conference agreements where we worked together from last year. Reopen most of the government. Let workers get paid. Vote ``yes.'' Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
