Congressman Greg Casar on Senator Cornyn at the Austin Airport

Published | Video Starts at 00:42

One second, we can talk about ICE and Border Patrol. There is a historic amount of money in ice, and we have a disagreement about ICE funding Senator Cornyn and I do. But Senator Cornyn came to the Austin airport to bring burgers to TSA workers just one week after he blocked the bill that would have given them their paychecks. So I think it's perfectly fair to say, don't bring people burgers. Give them their paychecks. He blocked the funding that would have gone to those TSA workers. (00:42–00:55)
