Fortunately, within the Home of Representatives at this time, we handed laws to pressure the hand of administration to do the appropriate factor. It’s the strongest border safety invoice ever handed by the USA Congress — in this case, the Home of Representatives — we have to get the Senate to behave and the president to maneuver. Republicans have to make use of the facility of the purse to pressure motion by the debt ceiling or the spending combat in September.”

And let me be simply very clear, don’t anticipate my vote to be assured properly now on any debt ceiling or any spending invoice until we’re coping with the border. … This invoice was a historic invoice.
