Senator Tommy Tuberville

We have a responsibility to be in this fight. State and local officials in Florida must help the Trump administration enforce our nation's immigration laws. And we are going to need, in order to do that effectively, we are going to need legislation to impose additional duties on local officials and provide funding for those local officials.

There also needs to be measures to hold people accountable who are violating our anti-sanctuary policies. And then Florida needs to make sure that we don't have any lingering incentives for people to come into our state illegally.

Let me read it for you.

I'm just making a point because there's a lot about qualifications. I think it's so hypocritical of senators, especially on the other side of the aisle, to be talking about his qualifications, not about a lead senator.
