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."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Border Security
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Tweet - "House Democrats have had eight weeks to pass emergency border funding. All they could pass was a partisan bill that failed in the Senate. The Senate's bill is overwhelmingly bipartisan and what can be signed into law."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Tweet - "'I'm glad our House colleagues passed the Senate's bipartisan funding bill for the humanitarian crisis on our southern border. I just signed off on this badly-needed legislation and now it's finally on its way to the President's desk."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Tweet - "The Senate will not pass a border supplemental bill that cuts funding for ICE and the Department of Defense. We already have our compromise. The Shelby-Leahy bill is the only game in town. It's time to quit playing games and make a law."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 27, 2019
Rogers Applauds Emergency Border Security Victory
Rep. Hal Rogers
June 26, 2019

Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 26, 2019
Tweet - "Both sides of the aisle have talked a lot about the border crisis. But that's all House Democrats have done: talk. It's Senate Republicans who have worked towards a productive, bipartisan compromise that would begin to address the humanitarian crisis at the border."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 20, 2019
