Published | Video Starts at 02:32

And we know that what is being put before them is not only are we going to fund ICE to control and terrorize law abiding citizens, but They are going to be asked to pay for it with their health care, with their kids' school lunches, with Medicare, with Medicaid, with cuts to medical research, and even the elimination of veterans benefits. So this weekend when we are hearing the nice tributes from our Republican colleagues, salutes to the service and our veterans, of our veterans, our fallen heroes and our military families, I refer them to the oft quoted President Kennedy. (02:32–03:00)
