They're not going to move.

So what I said is, all right, let's fund everything they'll go along with.

But I'm not saying surrender.

And in fact, I'm saying, let's go on offense.

Let's fund everything they're willing to fund.

And then let's immediately take up a reconciliation bill.

We don't need Democrat votes to do that.

And what I have argued to my colleagues is let's fund ICE for 10 years.

10 years is the maximum budget window you can do.

And I've urged, let's not just do it at current levels.

Let's up

the funding by 10%.

So Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer are right now crowing to the left.

Ha ha, we got everyone to defund ICE.

Look how successful we are.

I want to say, stick it where the suns don't shine.

The effect of your ridiculousness is you increased funding for ICE by 10% and got it funded for 10 years.

That's actually going on offense.

That's the case that I made to my colleagues.

By the way, the White House was fully part of those negotiations and agreed, which is why the Senate did what it did.
