SEN. CORNYN: I just want to thank Lindsey (Sen. Graham) for offering the amendment and his leadership in getting this press conference together. You know, I was sitting there thinking. I was listening to my colleagues. Talk about misplaced priorities. In the same week, the leadership of the Democrats have taken out $3 billion for the number one domestic issue, which is border security, and put back in $1 million for a museum to Woodstock. That just does not make any sense to me at all, but that's exactly what happened.

And if you watched the debate last week, you saw the intensity of the immigration issue. People in the United States of America want the borders secure. I commend Senator Graham for what he's done. I'll steadfastly stand behind it. I'll vote for it again and again until we finally get secure borders.

Thank you, Lindsey.
