Political Quotes

“I come to the floor having heard the minority leader come to the floor, and what he said was that the Democrats are going to vote against funding the Department of Homeland Security. Yesterday, the Democrats received the legislative text that they demanded. Just this morning, border czar Tom Homan announced that the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota was over. There has been significant progress in the last 2 weeks, enough progress that Democrats should join Republicans today to keep the Department of Homeland Security fully funded. Democrats don't seem to be determined, in any way, to fund the Department of Homeland Security. They seem determined, however, to protect illegal immigrant criminals. The goal of the Democrat Party, as stated, is to abolish ICE-- Immigration and Customs Enforcement--and to defund American security. Remember, the Democrats are the party of ``defund the police.'' They are not for the safety and the security of the American people, and a ``no'' vote today will confirm that. Who pays the price? Well, the American people because FEMA will not be funded, TSA will not be funded, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, America's cyber security defense--all defunded because Democrats are prioritizing illegal immigrant criminals ahead of the safety of the American people. The White House and Republicans are acting in good faith. Democrats should vote today to keep the Department of Homeland Security open.”
