the simple truth is, the american people are with us in this issue. democrats and republicans, independents, they understand the realities. the younger generation understands it even more and they're demanding action. so my plea to you is hang in there, we need you. you're horatio at the bridge attempting to hold back the threat that is to wipe out the progress we've made and the commitments we made. i'm telling you, that help is on the way. this position cannot be sustained. but you are the key. you are the key to keeping it from sliding all the way back to what it was before you did all the things you did during the recovery act. together i'm absolutely confident we can do this. and, folks, parting comment. i think we've got to start to begin to believe in our people again. they're tougher than you think they are. they're ready to do great things. and looking to be led. every one of you, my guess, was raised like i was to believe there wasn't anything you couldn't do, there wasn't a damn thing in the world that america couldn't do. this is the united states o

no country can be secure to creep across its borders unchecked and democrats use to understand this the democratic leader in the ranking member of the senate judiciary committee voted for legislation to authorize the heborder fence they were joined in their vote by senator biden and senator clinton and senator obama. 2013, every senate democrats supported legislation requiring the completion of the 700-mile fence along the southern border. this legislation would have provided $46 billion for border security and specifically for a physical barrier. just recently as last year nearly every senate democrat afforded $25 billion a border security but my point now is the democrats in dra the senate have recognized the importance of securing the border and how important a physical barrier is as part of the solution b to securing our border. not entirely dependent upon a border wall but a part of that solution for technological solutionsnn and manpower and sensors and all the modern technology that we have but to recognize a fence works and it has worked almost 700 miles already forgot i would p

us. i want to emphasize that we do have a crisis and i urge the democrats to come forward and help us solve this now. thank you. >> as the united states marine who was spent several months during the clinton years on our southern border and as a senator i still maintain a deep conviction we need to secure that border. why? the president for the best. this is a humanitarian crisis and it would be a security crisis and unfortunately democrats have turned this into a binary moral issue and months ago they supported securing our southern border and we can open up the government and we should open up the government immediately. it will just require compromise on the part of the democratic leadership working with this president. >> what would you tell the government worker in kentucky that the united states [inaudible]? >> i would tell them is that the solution to the problem is for the president of the united states and the only person of the 330 million of us who can sign something into law reaches an agreement with the democratic majority in the house and enough democrats in the senate to prev

president, democrats used to understand the need for border security. l in 2009 the democrat leader here in the senate said, and i quote, illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. until the american people are convinced that wews will stop yu to flows of illegal immigration, we will make no progress on dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants who are here now and on rationalizing our system of legal immigration that's plain and simple and unavoidable, end quote. that, mr. president, from the democrat leader here in the senate from 2009. in 2006 the democrat leader and the ranking member of the senate did you shakily voted for legislation to authorize a border fence. they were joined in their vote by then senator biden, then secretary clinton and then senator obama. 2013, every senate democrats supported legislation required to the completion of a seven-mile fence along our southern border. this legislation would have provided $46 billion for border security and $8 billion specifically for a physical barrier. nearly every senate democrats sup

we got about a 3rd of the democrats who decided they would vote for us. the republicans and that one-third, we passed things like the 3 year tax cuts. if you thought of kevin mccarthy as a potential leader of a coalition, 46 democratic freshman wrote a note to speaker pelosi and said they want to letting. -- legislate. give them a chance to legislate. the reagan model is go to the country to find individual democrats. the leadership will never cut a deal. >> sean: what about the shutdown aspect? indefinite? >> yes, but i would urge frankly the leader mccarty to put together a discharge pettician for the house and get every republican to sign it. we will fund the southern border and we are going to fund the government and we are ready to vote to do both. there are a number of democrats in the last 4 days who came out and said i could vote for the southern border. i could vote for the wall. there is a growing number under the pressure of this whole thing who are say is -- saying, look, i don't want to be unreasonable. that will come at the bottom. look at th

federal spending for the same kind of border security and, that prominent democrats actually used to brag about, for the very same kind of reinforced fencing that the obama administration bragged about building. or precisely the kinds of barriers that the men t and womn of law enforcement on the ground insist are vital for their mission. so, tragic it is for precisely the same kind of physical border security which a number of my democratic colleagues here in the senate were perfectly happy to vote to and fast billions of dollars come just as recently as last congress. the 2017 funding measure that passed the senate with 47 democratic votes included upgraded border fencing. that wasn in 2017, just this pat congress, last year. and 40 democrats voted for the bipartisan spending deal that we cleared just this past march. it included within one half billion dollars for border barriers. and then of course the appropriations subcommittee and full committee approved another $1.6 billion for border security andov a bipartisan vote last ju. ten of 15 committee democrats voted to report the f

fox news tells us democrats want the government reopened before negotiations take place. >> reporter: in the senate, there will be hard liners who don't like the plan and view the president's plan as a form of amnesty. even if republicans support the an they will need 7 democrats for it to pass. the white house is trying to ease the concerns with the president tweeting no, amnesty is not a part of my offer. it is a three year extension of daca. amnesty will be used ina much bigger deal. immigration or something else. on fox news sunday, vice president mike pence suggested this proposal isn't a final offer. and the administration is open to both sides offering amendments in order for it to pass. >> on tuesday congress will gin its work but really, what the president did over the last month and notably over the last two weeks was direct our team to meet with rank and file democrats to find out what they were looking for. >> the white house is banking on the democrats going against their leaders and supporting the president's plan but today senate minority leader chuck schumer said his p

us from d.c. with the latest. tracie, what else is on the democrats' agenda? >> reporter: well, they want to investigate a number of things, of course russia, the idea of collusion, and also protecting the job of special counsel robert mueller. but there's some other things as well. they've put in document requests that haven't been responded -- they've gotte n from the trump administration. that is something they want to follow up on. now, the democrats are in charge of these investigative committees. family separation, voting rights, hate crimes agenda, not to mention the trump tax returns. but nancy pelosi, who you see here, as house speaker, is also looking forward to the 2020 election. here's what she told the "today" show about that. >> do you think in this day and iej, the democrats need to nominate someone who is a street fighter like a trump, somebody who can go jab for jab? >> i think that there are eno h enough -- in the democratic party. i do think our candidate for president has to be strategic but also unifying. >> reporter: now, pelosi is set to

another procedural -- democrats use another procedural move, telling mitch mcconnell they will not move on anything until the government reopens. some in congress are urging the president to declare a national emergency to proceed with the border wall. early reports say the president indicating tonight he will not do that, but it does remain an option. an estimated 803,000 federal workers are impacted, half of them furloughed without pay. if this extends beyond friday, it would become the longest federal government shut down ever. the previous lowest shutdown was december 1995 during the clinton administration, lasting 21 days. a live view of the u.s. capitol and north portico at the white house. our phone lines will be open following the democratic response, which will begin shortly. very quickly, this is from senator marco rubio, a tweet saying "senate democrats putting shutdown politics ahead of support by israel by voting against debate on senate bill 1." another from pat leahy of vermont -- we will have a live view of the u.s. capitol. in

but i also know that in order for us to be productive in the 116th congress, democrats would have to decide to work with us, and so far, they have decided not to. in addition to refusing to negotiate on border security, senate democrats have also blocked the senate from considering legislation to support israel security, strengthen our relationship with our jordanian allies and hold accountable individuals who participated in the atrocities of the assad regime in syria. madam president, despite our divided government, we can still accomplish important things for the american people. but it's going to require an about-face from democrats who have so far made the 116th congress about partisanship in their hostility to this president. madam president, it's time for democrats to stop talking about reopening the government and to take steps that would actually do so by committing to real negotiations with the white house. then and only then can we get past this impasse, get the government open and functioning, and address what is a critical and important national security imperative for ou
