For some barrier? >> right. i dont know that i favor a shutdown since i favor us getting this resolved including trying to resolve some of the border security issues. im not for a shutdown, in fact ive been very outspoken opposed to any kind of shutdown. i dont like shutdowns, i dont like what they do to federal workers and to the american people, its the wrong way to be able to do it. but it should be reasonable to do some border security in this period of time. >> so, senator, you just left th...
