Politician
Sept. 25, 2019
Tweet - "Senate Democrats should not create a false choice between border security and military construction. They may oppose the administration's border security agenda but they certainly shouldn't punish our armed forces."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 25, 2019
Border Security
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 18, 2019
Tweet - "Democrats are threatening to filibuster funding for our armed forces and a pay raise for our troops because they disagree with President Trump on immigration policy. I hope our Democratic friends allow the process to move forward when we vote later today."

Statement: Congressman Rogers Supports Proposed State Legislation Prohibiting Sanctuary Cities
Rep. Hal Rogers
June 27, 2019

Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 26, 2019
Tweet - "The Senate has just passed a bipartisan emergency appropriations bill for the crisis at the border by an overwhelming 84-8 vote. The House should pass this funding bill right away."
