00:00What we're about to do is fund the Border Patrol and ICE through the entire Trump term
00:09because you wouldn't help us, Mr. President.
00:12Senator from South Carolina.
00:14Almost 19 hours later, we're actually going to talk about the bill and what's in it.
00:22There's $69.5 billion that this amendment covers, $38.6 billion for ICE to train, equip,
00:32support ICE, $108.5 billion allocated for child exploitation investigations, $22.6 billion
00:42for the Border Patrol to hire paid, trained, equipped personnel, $3.5 billion for improvements
00:48to border security, $5 billion to help DHS through 2029.
00:54What we're about to do is fund the Border Patrol and ICE through the entire Trump term because
01:04you wouldn't help us.
01:06America will be safer.
01:08However, I ask for adoption of this amendment.
01:19Senator from New York, Minority Leader.
01:22After tonight's vote, it's clear to Americans that Republicans refused to outlaw Donald Trump's
01:28$2 billion slush fund.
01:31Now the whole country can see the truth.
01:34Republicans fought like hell to please Donald Trump and his slush fund, but didn't lift
01:39a finger to help working Americans lower their costs.
01:43Think about it.
01:45Because Republicans refused to support our amendment, the only thing standing between Donald Trump
01:51and $2 billion dollars in American taxpayer money to enrich himself, his billionaire cronies,
01:58his cop-eating insurrectionists is a promise from Todd Blanche that could evaporate in a minute.
02:04That is not accountability.
02:07That is a permission slip.
02:11I yield the floor and urge a no vote.
02:24On this vote, the yeas are 52, the nays are 47.
02:27This bill, as amended, is passed.
