I said, in my view,
The Democrats in the Senate will never, ever vote to fund ICE again.
They've just lost their minds.
They are an open border party.
So they are willing to defund the Border Patrol and defund ICE.
And that's who they are.
And I said, there's not going to be any wearing them down on this because they're going to be that today.
They're going to be that next week.
They're going to be that next month.
They're going to be that next year.
That is where the Democrats are.
They've gone to crazy town.
And so I told my colleagues, here's what we should do.
We should fund as much of DHS as the Democrats are willing to do.
And that probably is going to mean pulling out ICE and maybe CBP, Customs and Border Patrol.
So we should fund it.
We should fund TSA.
We should open up the airports.
We should end the chaos.
Now, the immediate response to that will be the Democrats have succeeded in defunding ICE.
