John Thune: “They refused to fund border security.”

“Democrats refuse to fund the deportation of criminal illegal aliens, individuals guilty of things like murder, assault and sexual crimes against minors. They refused to fund drug interdiction and efforts to fight human trafficking. They refused to fund border security. That's right. They refused to fund the border Patrol. These are all critical security priorities. So Mr. President, Republicans are going to fund them through reconciliation because Democrats have left us no other option.” (04:20–04:22)
