Political Quotes

“Yesterday, I said, at this podium, that the resolution to the Schumer shutdown is simple: Senate Democrats need to vote ``yes'' on the short-term funding bill, and the government reopens, paychecks get processed for our troops, and the Children's Health Insurance Program is up and running. It is that simple. Understand this: the Senate Democrats chose to shut down the government because they have more interest in creating a false deadline to address the DACA issues. The fact is the legislative process is already underway to address DACA. I'm cosponsoring the Securing America's Future Act which not only addresses DACA but actually takes measures to make sure we actually solve the problem in the long term, including securing our borders, which is a big part of addressing the heroin crisis we have in our country. Let's end the Schumer shutdown, reopen the government, and continue our work to address the critical issues facing our country. ____________________”
