John Cornyn: “I rise to speak on an amendment I have offered, and I ask unanimous consent at this time to call up amendment No. 2086…”

My constituents believe that the 1,000-foot riverbank cliffs and remote Big Bend terrain offers its own sources of deterrence for any illegal migrants crossing into the United States.

I think that’s a real danger. And I think in any election, it’s not enough to disparage your opponent. You got to talk about the positive things that you’re doing for people.

We didn’t have the authority to sort that out.

This is unfortunately shaping up to be a close and I hope not disastrous election.
