Which senators want to open up tsa, pay TSA workers and end the chaos at our airports? And which senators are going to block TSA funding yet again? If you want to open up tsa, vote yes tomorrow. Every previous vote offered by the Republicans has tied TSA funding to also continue funding for ICE without any reform of ICE. This is different. This doesn't tie the TSA to ICE funding because ICE funding is controversial. This does not make the workers at our airports or the passengers at our airports hostages. (00:30–00:42)
