What he means is we have to send him his bill. I just want to point out something because we do have solutions on this side of this aisle. and we have acted responsibly on behalf of that. In July. we passed a border security bill that put facilities closer to the border to keep those who enter illegally closer to the border. We changed the policy to "last in. first out." so if you get in. you dont get to linger for years before you are returned if you dont have a humanitarian claim that merits staying. We also increased funding for judges. created telecourtrooms so that we could more expeditiously process those who come here illegallyand rightfully soand we should do so very responsibly. We are a loving nation made better for immigration. but we should show everybody the rule of law and how you responsibly immigrate here. Mind you. we also passed a bill that provided for the health care of those who come here and while they are detained here. but I want to point out something very specific. In the coming weeks. this Congress is going to offer another billbecause that one was never accepted by the Senate or went to the Presidentto require operational control of our border. That is a great urgency. to have operational control of our border. not to just address the traditional border security issue. but to address what we know is a growing concern about our domestic and homeland security. We have seen the threats around the globe. Most certainly. that has to be an area where we can reach agreement with the White House. and I hope we can take up the President on his offer to put a bill on his desk and ask him to sign it. just as he has pledged to do so.
