That's going to be a big topic, I think, uh, in the next couple of weeks and, and we'll see where that goes, but I'm hopeful
that we're still going to get something done in a bipartisan way.
If not, through reconciliation, what the president proposed today could be done through the reconciliation process, which means only Republicans are needed to pass it.
I think it's a possibility.
Look, our margin keeps getting slimmer and slimmer, but I think that's very well possible.
Maybe as it relates to health care and housing, there's a lot of discussion surrounding housing and affordability there.
I think one of the biggest things we also need to do, and I think as it relates to credit card companiesβ
Financial literacy is so important, right?
Teaching young people about what it means to take on debt and what's behind the actual dollar.
And I think that that's something we need to get back to the basics in our education system.
Look, I think what we really wanted and needed, particularly in my district, was the president to, one, secure the border, which he's done.
We now have zero crossings.
And number two, deport the criminals, right?
And I think that in many ways they've been very successful.
We are seeing thousands of criminals that have committed real serious crimes, deported, those migrant shelters that were popping up.
all over New York City being funded by the taxpayer are now closed.
But we also see that there are areas where they've gone too far.
And we've had a real discussion about this with the Speaker and with the White House because we want to see some type of balance here, right?
And I think that's what the American people want.
So you secured the border, you're deporting the criminals.
