U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement today after President Donald Trump announced his proposal to secure the border and end the partial government shutdown:
"I appreciate the president putting forward a reasonable proposal containing bipartisan ideas to secure our border and reopen government. I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will take the time to review the details of it before rushing to judgment and I look forward to debating it on the Senate floor next week."
