We as a Congress have failed by not enforcing the laws of our land and refusing to put the safety and well-being of the American people first.
I have been greatly disappointed by President Trump's proposed cuts to these vital programs, but remain committed to supporting much-needed homeland security grants to communities across this country.
It has been a frightening pattern by this President who continuously makes false statements about border security and immigration to the American public.
It is time to secure our borders, enforce our Federal laws, and put America first.
