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.

It has been a frightening pattern by this President who continuously makes false statements about border security and immigration to the American public.

I think that President Trump's commitment to getting an infrastructure package passed this year provides the perfect avenue to do that, whether it is through a gas tax, which I have consistently advocated for, or another user fee.
