On the recordJanuary 8, 2019

In 2007 there was a vote in this body about whether or not we provide a barrier, a wall, a fence, and we had Democratic leaders who voted for it back then, both here and in the Senate. Seventy-nine Senators voted for it back then. The problem is not better on our border, and, in fact, the drugs coming across are worse. There was enough fentanyl coming across in the past year to kill every American adult. The problem is worse. Folks here were for a wall, a barrier. It seems the only difference is now there is a President that some in here absolutely despise. ____________________
