    FACT CHECK: Illegal border crossings are at historic lows, a 75% DROP since FY2000. If there were an “urgent need” to construct a costly wall, Pres. Trump would not have to rely on so many blatant falsehoods.

    A “Democrat Shutdown." Really? Memories don't fade THAT quickly. Let’s remember that time you went on live TV & said you’d be “proud” to shut down govt. over your costly bumper-sticker boondoggle wall.

    Though the First Step Act does not include all the criminal justice reforms I would like to see, as the name of our bill implies, it’s an important first step toward more fairness in our criminal justice system. Today on the Senate Floor I urged all senators to support our bill.

    to when Trump said Vermont wouldn’t pay for the wall. His useless and inhumane wall would do nothing to address illegal immigration, while his shutdown would have disastrous consequences across the country.

    Don’t believe that Pres. Trump is willing to shut down the government and critical govt. services over his ineffective wall? Here are his exact words just today: “If we don’t get what we want…I will shut down the government.” There you have it -- the Trump Shutdown.

    [Lucas] Senator Leahy and other Democratic leaders just spoke with press in the Capitol about President Trump’s disastrous threat to shut down the government. I was right in the scrum with reporters from all the major papers and networks.

    [Lucas] Leahy asked him about border checkpoints inside of VT. CBP has authority to set up checkpoints within 100 miles of the border, but those searches may violate citizens’ rights against warrantless searches. Leahy introduced a bill this year to limit those checkpoints.

    Reporters often ask questions in the Senate hallways. Today the Farm Bill conference report was released, so the senator is answering lots of questions about his role negotiating new protections for VT farmers and families.
