Deputy White House Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller:
Should the Democrats regain power, it's game over. Twelve more justices on SCOTUS, two new Democrat states, they're going to get rid of the Second Amendment, they're going to get rid of our borders, they're going to get rid of our police, they're going to get rid of ICE, Border Patrol, DHS, and they're going to elect communists, like actual communists, Laura, not even socialists.

U.S. President Donald Trump:
"The Radical Left Democrats have kept DHS shut down since February 14th. Our Great Speaker, Mike Johnson, is working hard to end the Democrat Shut Down, and pass the first step of a plan to get FULL FUNDING for our incredible ICE and Border Patrol Agents. We need all Republicans to join together and support this Budget Blueprint, which will allow us to bypass Democrat obstruction in the Senate, and fund Immigration Enforcement with only Republican Votes. The Senate passed this Blueprint last week on Thursday morning, and now, House Republicans must UNIFY, and pass the same Blueprint to get the Bill done. I’ve asked for the final Bill on my desk by June 1st, and we can make that deadline if we keep to the plan, FAST and FOCUSED. Let’s take care of our Great Agents of Law Enforcement. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

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.

U.S. President Donald Trump:
"I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports. I will not allow the Radical Left Democrats to hold our Country hostage any longer."
Sec Mullin Speaks upon swearing in as the 9th Secretary of DHS Gov: "I don’t care what color your state is. I don't care if you're red or you're blue. At the end of the day, my job is to be Secretary of Homeland and to protect everybody the same, and we will do that."
