Mike Garcia Shoots Down Senate Bipartisan Border Bill

Published | Video Starts at 02:13

And so Democrats and Republicans crave security above all things. So this notion that Democrats don't want border security is absolutely false. Democrats actually want border security. And that's what we're pushing for here. What the Senate has done, though, is not provided border security. They provided a giant supplemental monster that's made up of conglomerates to include 60 billion plus or Ukraine that actually doesn't secure the border, and that's a problem. So let's secure our border. Let's have an independent conversation about Ukraine funding. Let's have the debate. I've been very clear with the White House what questions they need to answer in order to get support for Ukraine funding. (02:13–02:28)
