“This has been a really interesting debate, because our friends on the other side, Mr. Speaker, it is like they have amnesia and nothing happened before the election a couple of years ago. All of these promises about a border wall were followed by the cheers and the chants of: And who is going to pay for that wall? And you remember all your fans would stand up: Mexico is going to pay for that wall. Who? Mexico. And here we are today getting ready to shut down the Government over you asking the American taxpayer to pay for this border wall. And then some of you even are saying that we have hollow words, that our words don't mean anything, when this President is going back on the promise that he made. He said Mexico was going to pay for it. He said it at the rallies. He was in Ohio. He was in the swing States. And now he is going back on his word on that. And he just went back on his word where he promised the entire Senate he was going to support the continuing resolution, and you are calling us and saying our words are hollow. Are you kidding me? Now, look, I am for border security. I am for border security. But I am not for a wall. You know what, I like cars, too. I am for cars. I am not for the Model T. I like planes. I don't want a glider that was designed and built by Wilbur Wright. I like my phone, but I don't want to go back and get the rotary dial out. You guys are living in the past. And this Government is in chaos. It is in a free-fall.…”
