But, look, you know, you’ve heard us say this before, and we put the question to Co- — to Congress: And what — what are they going to do here? What — Republicans are asking, you know, how are we going to secure the border. I’ve listed out on ways that we’ve tried and work — to work on that … So why don’t they work with us on this particular issue that is important to — important to Americans across the country? And we’re asking for them to join us on this — on this issue as well.
