While this bill before us is a step toward getting the job done of
passing the appropriations bill before the end of the fiscal year, we
know this is only the first step. We still have a lot more work to do. I regret that the rule that we will take up tomorrow will likely
include $1.6 billion for a wall. We who live on the border, we
understand and we believe in border security, border security that is
strong, sensible, common sense, and effective for the border. The wall
is a 14th century solution to a 21st century challenge that we have. The border wall is not the right solution for border security. Why? Number one, private property rights.
