The “reforms” Senator Kim wants are designed to make it dangerous and virtually impossible for ICE to do its job.
He wants ICE agents to reveal their identity to violent rioters who threaten to kill them and their families.
At around 5am, after voting all night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE $70 BILLION more in your taxpayer dollars. No reforms or changes made. We can still fight this.
Senate Republicans know that the first duty of government is to prioritize the safety of the American people. Today, we honored that commitment by passing the Secure America Act.
Every single Senate Democrat voted against this important bill. For months they blocked funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Border Patrol. Democrats showed the nation that they are the party of open borders, protecting illegal immigrant criminals, and defunding the police.
Republicans will always prioritize the safety and security of America
ICYMI: This morning, @SenateGOP passed the bill to fund @ICEgov & @CBP through the end of @POTUS's term.
Democrats fought as hard as they can to block this critical funding, but they failed, & they will fail again in the House.
Republicans are putting the American people first.
Democrats held DHS hostage for 76 days all because they want to abolish ICE and defund law enforcement.
By passing the Secure America Act, Senate Republicans slammed the door on these radical demands and voted to ensure ICE & CBP have what they need to enforce the law.
Democrats tried to block funding for ICE and CBP. They failed.
Last night, Senate Republicans bypassed unprecedented Democrat obstruction and superfunded our border security for years to come.
Today, Senate Republicans voted to secure the southern border, pay border patrol agents, and enforce legal immigration. Ensuring our law enforcement has the resources to keep the homeland safe is critical to U.S. national security.
.@SenateGOP voted to fully fund the men and women working non-stop to secure our border and protect Americans from the threats that result from Democrats’ reckless open-border policies. My full statement on passage of the Secure America Act ⬇️
After more than 14 hours, Democrat Senators continue to use every single dirty trick, every arcane maneuver, and every deceptive tactic to prevent Senate Republicans from funding federal law enforcement.
Sad.
Congratulations to @SenatorCollins on casting her 10,000th consecutive roll call vote in the Senate! There is no one who works harder for their constituents and this milestone is just another example of why she is the most effective U.S. Senator in the nation.
Since @SenatorCollins was first sworn into office, she has not missed a single vote. 10,000 consecutive roll call votes is an incredible milestone and a remarkable testament to her work ethic and commitment to public service. Congratulations!
If we are serious about safe and secure communities, we must fully fund border security. Republicans introduced the Secure America Act. It will fully fund Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the next three years.
While Democrats want open borders and to defund our law enforcement, Republicans will vote all night to pass funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Let’s get it done!
The so-called “reforms” Democrats want for ICE are designed to prevent immigration enforcement altogether.
Democrats don’t want reform. They want to abolish ICE and resume the border invasion.
In case you didn't know, Republicans have put the entire Senate floor on hold so they can jam through a $70 BILLION check for ICE.
After all the brutality we've seen, this is how they respond: A blank check and an absolute refusal of commonsense reforms.
I'm voting NO.
Right now Democrats are fighting us into the night to block funding for the agencies that secure our borders and keep violent illegal aliens out of our country.
Americans haven’t forgotten what our country looked like under Democrat rule. Republicans are fighting to restore law and order, secure the border, and keep your family safe.
Congratulations to my colleague and friend, @SenatorCollins, on an extraordinary milestone: 10,000 consecutive votes cast in the Senate!
Senator Collins is a true public servant, representing Maine and our nation with integrity, dedication, and conviction.
The American people gave us a Senate Majority to stand with @POTUS, secure the border, & deport illegal aliens.
Tonight, we will do just that.
Tonight, we are voting to fully-fund @ICEgov & @CBP for years to come.
The safety & security of the American people is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
