To enter during a government shutdown that is happening largely because the president won t budge on a campaign promise is a very interesting time to come here. but i do think it also creates an opportunity here for us that we can show that we can lead and that we can get things done and if the government doesn t reopen, it s not going to be on the house of representativeses. well, that leads me to my next question. you represent a state with the longest stretch of border with mexico. mexico was supposed to pay for this wall but now the government shutdown over funding for it. do texans want a wall, do you think? i know my constituents don t. i know that this is not the most effective way for us to secure the border. we have bipartisan consensus we need to secure the border. that we are committed to that. we are voting for that tonight, fire budget that will do exactly that. it s what the senate voted for a few weeks ago. but we don t believe in wasting money. if we want to spend $ ....
