The Democrats refuse to open the government. They won't provide more than a dollar. The Speaker said she would give a dollar for a border barrier. That is outrageous. How many people in this body have walls around their homes and live in gated communities. How many people in this body at night check to make sure their door is locked, not because a burglar can't get around it, but because they love the people in their home and they don't want burglars having it too easy getting in, even though they could, but it slows people down. That is what a border barrier does. And for the little girl that was killed by an illegal alien in my district and thrown in a well, this is not a charade. This is life or death for many people. Let's put a barrier where we need it, and then we can have everybody getting paid. ____________________
