Patty Murray: “Republicans are saying, no, we will not give you any TSA…”

“I'm even ready to make it happen on a temporary basis while we continue working on reforming ICE Border Patrol, if that's what's needed. But so far, Republicans have responded to that offer with the same message they're going to send today. Republicans are saying, no, we will not give you any TSA funding. None. Unless you shove billions of dollars at an agency that we already gave billions of dollars to. No, they're saying, we will not let you send out TSA paychecks unless we can give a blank check to ice, which is already sending out paychecks.” (05:30–05:42)
