"This is a real problem that we've got to resolve and we are standing strong on this. It must be passed. I know everyone's talking about shutdowns but this border issue is the issue of the day. It is the most important issue we face as a nation. It's undermining the wealth and I talk about relative wealth of our senior citizens, our taxpayers, who are dependent on you know whether it's their social security or their small 401ks or pensions -- they are paying for this in Upstate New York. We are paying with unfunded mandates for this crisis I give kudos to the Speaker and everyone who has contributed to making this bill comprehensive, humane and something that's going to benefit our citizens. It's going to benefit our taxpayers and it's going to be giving us an alternative to this disaster we're seeing at our border."
