    I voted to fund the wall bc it is vital to national security to stop illegal immigrants, drugs, human traffickers & terrorists. People have demanded it, Republicans are working w/ President Trump to deliver it. I urge the Senate to vote secure our border & keep government open.

    Americans have wanted stronger border security and the wall for years now. It’s time for Democrats to acknowledge this and come to the table on a funding agreement.

    Democrats have steadfastly opposed every effort we’ve tried over the last year to better secure our border & their complete unwillingness to compromise has certainly contributed to this situation. I’m willing to find common ground but I want wall money.

    Louisiana farmers, ranchers and foresters deserve the stability and strong safety net the Farm Bill provides. This is a good bill, and that’s why farmers across the country will celebrate its passage.

    . We are thankful the Agriculture committees have stayed true to their mission to serve the American farmer and rancher and our nation’s consumers.

    Obama’s simply went too far - a puddle that might run into a ditch that then might run into a stream is by no means a navigable waterway & shouldn't be treated as such. I’m still reviewing the new rule but I’m pleased with what I’ve seen so far.
