You have put in jeopardy the safety of our Nation in order to punish a group of people you cant punish. You cant punish them because they are paying for it. American citizens. while you are waiting for your visa. while you are waiting for your citizenship application. while you are waiting for that. guess what. the Republicans have decided you need to wait while the 5 million that the President said he wants to legalize continue to get processed. It is absurd what is going on here. We are putting at jeopardy the American people. You dont think the Border Patrol is an essential protection to the Nation? I dont know how you can say that on that side of the aisle because every other word is: Secure the border. secure the border. secure the border. But when it comes to securing the border. you say: Lets not fund it. We are not going to fund securing the border today. We are simply going to let it lapse and say to those Border Patrol agents. Do you know what? Why dont you show up and secure the border. but we are not going to give you enough money to pay your mortgage. we are not going to give you enough money in order to pay your groceries or pay your heating bill.
