The debt of this country from George Washington through Bill Clinton was about $5.7 trillion. The debt from George W. Bush and Donald Trump alone is nearly double that. Chairman Arietid, isn't it true that you and everybody on the Republican side here voted in favor of a Republican reconciliation bill that is projected to add $4.7 trillion to our nation's debt over the next decade.

The ICE and CBP was simply a replacement of what would have been discretionary funding for ICE and CBP when every Democrat voted to defund it. (07:31–07:43)
