It has been painful, stressful, and heart-wrenching to watch the crisis at our border worsen with every passing day while my colleagues refused to even acknowledge it.

Facts Matter. My hope in communicating the facts has been restored. If you keep communicating the truth about the facts, eventually the politicizing of an issue can be overcome.

Speaker Pelosi does not have the iron grip on her caucus that she thought. They are tired of her blatant disregard for the will of the American people.

After 57 days of obstruction and denial, we are FINALLY passing a border security funding package through Congress and delivering it to President @realDonaldTrump.

We now have the support of enough Democrats to PASS this bill and get it to President @realDonaldTrump's desk TODAY. But still, Speaker Pelosi & Democrat leadership refuse to allow a vote. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

RT @GOPLeader: HAPPENING NOW → Republicans are repeatedly asking Democrats to take up a vote on a bipartisan Senate bill that will provide immediate humanitarian aid at the border. Democrats keep blocking it—more than 30 times now.

The Senate passed a bipartisan border security package yesterday 84-8. It includes funding for border agents to end the crisis at our border. If the House can't pass the same bill, we shouldn't be going home this afternoon & we absolutely shouldn't get a month recess in August.

RT @SteveScalise: The hypocrisy from House Dems is unbelievable. They like to grandstand about the humanitarian crisis at our border. Yet they’ve blocked @realDonaldTrump's request for money to actually solve it 17 TIMES. They need to quit obstructing & work with us to get funding signed into law. https://t.co/PDADMaHkp0

The hypocrisy and political gamesmanship from the other side of the aisle is appalling. I cannot stress enough how important it is to find a solution to end the crisis and protect our people.

Tonight, we voted on an extraordinarily partisan bill that should have focused on ending the crisis at our border - the crisis that Democrats have been denying for MONTHS.

We debated supplemental funding for the border in the House tonight. Remember, it’s been 56 days since President Trump declared an emergency and asked for Congress to pass funding.

All this to say that the Democratic majority is doing everything in their power to shut our voices out of the legislative process. They want sole control, but that's not how our government was meant to run.

In contrast, when Republicans held the majority last Congress, we allowed 45% of the amendments to be from the Democrats - more than the 38% from Republicans and 17% bipartisan submissions.

I know how hard you work for your paycheck and I'm not going to let the government take that away from you. An additional $600,000 of spending PER FAMILY is inexcusable.

The #GreenNewDeal is costly, dangerous, and out of touch with the wants and needs of most Americans. Liberal elites in DC don't mind spending unimaginable sums of taxpayer dollars, but I do.
