“I cannot believe, for the life of me, that we can't come together in a bipartisan fashion to pass $4.5 billion to fund the necessary beds, to fund what is necessary to house these children. When people talk about kids in cages, are they directly attacking Border Patrol? Have they spent time with Border Patrol who are trying to figure out whether a kid's dad is actually the dad or whether it is somebody who is using that child? That is happening today while this body waxes on about whatever amendment we are throwing on the floor right now that is already part of the administrative policy. We are not actually addressing the problem. And the American people sent us here to do that: Oh, by the way, oh, no, we are demanding votes. Heaven forbid this body votes. Heaven forbid we follow the Constitution, which says something about a quorum. Maybe we should actually be in this body voting on the things the American people sent us here to do, like secure the border and ensure the safe passage of migrants in the United States of America under our rule of law.”
