Rep. Andy Biggs Dismantles Democrats' Demands to Fund ICE

Published | Video Starts at 03:42

If you remember over the holidays, that when the tsa, everybody started getting trouble with tsa, that's when they gave. So I think they think they have leverage over that. My whole thing is maybe instead of doing this leverage, Maybe what the Senate needs to do is just say we're going to DFU just like Harry Reid did on nominations. What we're going to do is we're going to have a elimination of the filibuster or the cloture rule for national security funding like FEMA, like Coast Guard, like TSA. (03:42–03:48)

CLAIM

Suggests the Senate should eliminate the filibuster for national security funding, similar to Harry Reid's actions on nominations.
