Trump:

For all of those who like to say that Barack Hussein Obama, and his Vice President, Sleepy Joe Biden, did as many Criminal ICE removals as President Trump, the figures are just in. Number One, they included hundreds of thousands of people that never came close to getting into our Country, a difference of perhaps 50% in the numbers. We don’t include such categories but, even if we did, ICE and CBP removed many more Illegal Aliens under President Trump than under Obama — It’s not even close!

Lindsey Graham:

We must fully fund DHS so that we can finally get Secret Service personnel paid and fully funded while they carry out their important mission for our country - as well as all other DHS functions. ICE and CBP are just as important to our national security. It is long past time to fully fund DHS, as the threats against our country are growing exponentially.

In that regard, I’m urging that as soon as the Senate returns this week, that we push for fully funding DHS. I implore my Democrat colleagues to support fully funding DHS at a time of great danger to America.

I will be introducing standalone legislation tomorrow to authorize and appropriate money to fully fund the White House presidential ballroom - which over time will provide adequate security for this president and future presidents for events like the White House Correspondents Dinner.

DHS Secretary Mullin raises the possibility of pulling CBP and customs officers from airports in large sanctuary cities, citing lack of cooperation with the federal government and funding refusals.

International arrivals would be unable to clear customs at those airports.

“It’s something we’re looking at,” Mullin said.
