If this goes throughin the Senate,the President of the United States, along withmany House Republicans, just cost the American people almost six billion of their hard-earned dollars. Thiswalldoes not secure our border. This is not the solution. Mr. President, my fellow colleagues, you have made a serious mistake, which will cause the government to potentially shutdown. So much for Merry Christmas. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
