I voted for over a billion dollars to build a wall on our southern border. I also voted for Kate's Law to increase criminal penalties for violent criminals who reenter the U.S. illegally after being deported. I was one of about 24 Democrats who voted for that. I also broke with the Biden administration in their attempt to lift the current Title 42 restrictions on processing applications. (32:52–33:02)
