I woke up this morning to a text from an elderly lady saying that we are under attack, can Congress do anything to protect our borders? The blood of further deaths of Americans is on your hands. I disagree with my good friends on the right side. This is anything but a national security bill. Look at what is happening at the border. Look at what is happening to the agents that got bum-rushed in El Paso last night. Now, anybody that votes for this bill, you are saying--and for all the listeners, are you agreeing to $500 million for Jordan, including $150 million for border security in Jordan? Are you agreeing, and do you like $125 million to help Egyptians attend college in Egypt? Is this where you want your money? Do you want $286 million for title X family planning, which is an abortion clinic? Folks, the list goes on and on. This is insanity. Here is the fix: I call on our Speaker--he is the only one that can do it-- to vote this bill down. Take that mace down--which has to be in place; it has been in place for 182 years to have a session in the House of Representatives--cut the lights off, and until the Senate accepts a total shutdown of the border, until they accept a total H.R. 2, we don't come back. Why fund a government that is working against us? It is total insanity.
