And right now they're talking about funding ICE and Border Patrol for three and a half years at current levels. What I've argued to my colleagues is there are three mistakes that they're contemplating. Number one, We should fund ICE and Border Patrol for 10 years, not three and a half. The Democrats have gotten so radical. They will not fund border security. We can do 10 years of funding. Number two, we should increase the funding. (01:37–01:43)
