The historical perspective of what we accomplished in the House over a year ago now with the most righteous border security bill ever to pass out of the House is to give Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate the alternative, so when the President says: Well, you haven't done anything over there. You haven't passed anything, and you won't pass the bipartisan bill. Madam Speaker, it doesn't matter.

We get that he doesn't like it. He doesn't like it because it actually would have secured the border. That goes to the point. It was always his intention. It has always been his intention.
