So I want to take just a minute to focus in on the essence of the bill that we are on, that we will be considering and voting on today. It's a simple bill, Mr. President. It will do nothing more than fund Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the next three years. And why are we doing this bill, Mr. President? Why are we doing appropriations for these Department of Homeland Security agencies separately and for three years instead of the usual one? (00:17–00:24)
