"I urge Congress to pass this bill and place it on my desk immediately. But if this bill fails, I want to be crystal clear: the American people will understand why it failed" he stated.

Every day until November, Americans will be aware that the only reason the borders are not secure is because of Trump and his Republican allies at Mag. It's time for the Republican Congress to be courageous and let the American people know that you work for them, not someone else", he asserted.
