When it comes to the border wall, this is a common sense issue. i represent texas. we have 1200 miles of border with mexico and we have got tobo secure the border. we have promised the american people if you elect us we will do that. i think we need to honor that promise. a tucker: again, forr the third time, because i am marveling at this, you would think that more in your a position in the senate would have the same attitude. they are against the border wall. many of your colleagues are against it. why do you think they are against it?er the democrats are threatening to shut down the government to try to stop the border funding. i think that shows how radical they are. i hope and believe this new administration will follow the promise and build the border wall. what i have tried to do with this legislation i introducednd yesterday was provide a funding stream. el chapo, as you know, notorious drug lord, is in u.s. custody. he is being prosecuted. the federal government has
