McConnell FINALLY RELEASED The HUGE Announcement That ALL AMERICA Need To Know THIS TRUTH
as recently as a few days ago our government funding discussion seemed to
be in a pretty good place bipartisan bicameral negotiations on finishing out
the year's appropriations process seem to be right on trial we appeared headed
toward a compromise result that would have provided much needed investments in
border security and completed our remaining appropriation bills to fully
fund the government last week the Democratic leaders seem confident that
quote we worked out a plan to refund the government deal with border security in
a way that would be acceptable to all sides that's working pretty well
he said just this past Friday the ranking member of the Appropriations
Committee Senator Leahy suggested quote we're 95 to 98 percent done but then
over the weekend we heard that the talks had suddenly hit a snag two bipartisan
momentum had stalled well then wrong oh no wrong well mr.
president here's what happened House Democrats decided to add a poison pill
demand into the conversations at the 11th hour it's a new demand it's really
extreme a hard statutory cap on the number of illegal immigrants who could
be detained by the federal government a hard statutory cap on how many illegal
immigrants could be detained by the federal government this would result in
the release of thousands of criminal aliens and our inability to detain
thousands more criminal aliens whom our federal and state law enforcement
authorities will apprehend
this is a poison pill that no administration not this one not the
previous one would or should ever accept imagine the absurdity of this House
Democrats want to set a limit on how many criminal aliens our government can
detain the limits not based on any aspect of reality such as how many
criminal aliens there actually are or what crimes they've committed just an
arbitrary number a couple of lawmakers have pulled out of thin air the
consequence of such an arbitrary limit is obvious thousands of criminal aliens
would simply be released into the interior of our country both immediately
and then on a rolling basis into the future the National sheriffs Association
explained this in a letter to chairman Shelby and Senator Leahy and here's what
the sheriffs had to say capping the number of detention beds not only
jeopardizes the integrity of the immigration system but would cripple
Isis ability to detain criminal aliens and other aliens who pose a risk to
public safety or are a flight risk in order to meet the cap being tentatively
proposed by Congress ice would be compelled compelled to release thousands
of aliens from custody that's what the Narus National sheriffs Association had
to say about it released just like that right out in to the United States of
America so it's hard to believe mr. president that this is where some
Democrats are I get out of jail free card for criminals because the radical
left doesn't like us immigrations and some enforcement let me say that again a
get-out-of-jail-free card for criminals because the radical left doesn't like us
immigrations and Customs Enforcement
it's hard to believe the abolish ice French among House Democrats actually
thinks enforcing our laws is wrong it's hard to believe a group of House
Democrats see kneecapping American law enforcement as a higher priority than
keeping the government open but it would be even harder to believe that leading
Democrats would be open to this craziness that's craziest and would let
this last minute poison pill scuttle the entire appropriations process just last
year when the Democratic leader was highlighting productive bipartisan work
on this appropriations process he said quote both sides of work to avoid poison
pill routers that has met steady progress ranking member Leahy celebrated
that through last year's committee process quote we avoided new poison pill
writers so look mr. president I hope that my Democratic colleagues are able
to talk some sense into their side some House Democrats are risking a second
partial government shutdown by calling for this absurd last-minute poison pill
no administration of any party would sign a bill that forced them to release
criminal aliens into the interior of the United States no administration would
accept this poison pill forcing the release of criminals now and a rolling
basis going forward I understand the four leaders on Appropriations in both
chambers would be meeting in just a few minutes I would implore my friends
across the aisle untangle yourself from the most extreme far-left voices
out on the fringe do not let this radical fringe and it's absurd to ban
prevent you from taking yes for an answer
don't let them torpedo all of this bipartisan work this provision would
rightly be a total non-starter with the White House with any White House not
just this one it would erase our progress and kick us back to square one
a total poison pill pure and simple look the American people are not clamoring
for more aliens with criminal backgrounds to be roaming at large and
their communities never heard anybody asks for that and they certainly are not
eager for that outcome so eager for that outcome that they want another partial
shutdown in order to achieve it my Democratic colleagues in this chamber
need to see this stunt a stunt they need to see it for just what it is bring
their side back to the table and finish our work for the American people Senator
Lindsey Graham and Senator I want to reiterate that we just broke news on
this program top of the show that the Democrats are now saying that border
wolf funding in exchange for money for a wall must include limits on the number
of ice detention beds you don't think the president will sign such a bill oh
no he can't sign such a bill or now I don't know if that's 100% accurate but I
think that's the impasse we have they're willing to give the president a little
more money for the wall but in return they want to limit the number of bed
spaces available to house violent criminals this goes back to a OCS belief
that I should be abolished so the bottom line is how can you get money for a wall
and at the same time limit bed spaces for violent offenders and say you've
solved the immigration problem you're actually incentivizing more illegal
immigration by reducing the bed space and it undercuts any money you would get
for a wall he can't sign that bill if that's the friction point then we'll
have a continuing resolution then we'll just keep talking congressman
Mark Walker a vice chairman of the House Republican Conference and member the
Homeland Security Committee sir how are you and welcome back to your to America
newsroom you just listening to the reporting what do you want to add on
that sir well the timing couldn't be more perfect
I just finished meeting with 50 different sheriffs who actually got the
call last night they brought these letters here specifically talking about
the detention bed problem the 16,500 if that has reduced according
to their numbers 72% of current detention
Hildy's here that population is subject to mandatory crimes because of this
having certain convictions or having committed certain acts they have a huge
problem with that these were sheriffs from Massachusetts several border
sheriffs really compelled me to be able to come out and talk about something
that's happening in real time they came from all parts of the country they're
here today to present these letters to this committee to make sure that we do
not reduce these detention beds why do you believe the Democrats want to do
that it's hard for me to judge motive I don't know if this just is another
posturing move but I believe this is this is crucial the fact that that
you're wanting to release people who've committed violent crimes I don't know
that I can sit here and tell you that their their motive is evil but I will
tell you this it certainly doesn't make sense not just to from a partisan
perspective but the people across this country many of the stories are heard
this morning this is definitely a non-starter for us to try to negotiate
you know they don't trust ice right I mean that's that's part of this and and
some that said get rid of it well yeah these are the same people that have
arrested over 4,000 ms-13 gang members these are the same people the just in
2017 alone rescued 906 children who are being exploited these people are law
enforcement they work arming armed with our local sheriff's throughout the
country this has become a political talking point and the reason that
members of Congress and others are so frustrated is because we have human
lives at stake Gavin Newsom Democratic governor California suggests that he
will pool 400 National Guard troops off the southern border in his state I think
New Mexico did that not too long ago what do you
think of that well maybe that's proof that the border wall in San Diego is
actually working I hope it's not just from a political posturing standpoint we
need not only men and women there armed agents but we also need to make sure
that we continue to expand the technological aspects I can't speak to
specifically why he's doing that my first impact is it's it's another
it's another move that makes it look like the border is not as dangerous as
it in reality as I've heard from these sheriffs that it actually is this is
gonna be another meeting this afternoon for members of the House four members of
the Senate we'll see if they move the ball forward meantime you got a midnight
deadline right Friday night if not are we looking at another government
shutdown I don't know outside of one or two knuckleheads around here that
enjoyed that particular the shutdown atmosphere I think it's bad for the
American people I hope we don't have to go there but I think the president used
the term this is crazy I I couldn't agree more with the president this is
absolutely crazy we have to keep that on the table to hopefully find some kind of
results that benefits the American people the best sounds like they
wouldn't negotiate on the beds right you put a number down and you see how much
you're willing to match them sir you lost a legend in North Carolina politics
Walter Jones over the weekend a third District Eastern North Carolina how do
you remember him well as part of our North Carolina delegation I remember him
as an honest man it sounds simple but I will tell you in Washington DC sometimes
that comes in rare commodity who and someone who will look you in the eye no
matter really what you think about it and tell you what he thinks best for the
constituents the North Carolinians that he represented that was his reputation
it was his father's reputation they almost served back to back from 1966 I
believe so so both father and son and he dedicated
his life to public service we have great fondness for him but he will go down in
this house with a legacy of someone who was willing to tell the truth Walter
Jones was 76 passed away in hospice on his 76th birthday
thank you sir Mark Walker from North Carolina thank you for your time
thank you god bless you and God bless america
you
