RECONCILIATION

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 75 (Wednesday, April 29, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 75 (Wednesday, April 29, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S2092] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECONCILIATION Mrs. BLACKBURN. Well, they continue with this political charade, and we have now passed a budget resolution that is going to open the path for us for a targeted public safety reconciliation bill that is going to fund these issues through President Trump's term. We will take this issue off the table. Now, we did this on the Big Beautiful Bill. We did it through reconciliation. We did it with 51 votes. And as I said earlier, not one single Democrat--not one--voted for the Big Beautiful Bill. And we will make certain that ICE and CBP and these other Agencies are funded, and we will do it without a single Democrat vote. And also, doing it this way, the Democrats will have none of the reforms they pretended to want when it came to Homeland Security. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Armstrong). The Senator from Louisiana. ____________________
