"Again, it was McConnell that entered the secret negotiations that ended up being a debacle that the Democrats used to a galling extent today at the hearings just talking about this bipartisan bill. Let me tell you what they were looking at. Here's a quote from Schumer after that debacle was ended. 'We were playing chess. They were playing checkers, and we ended up with the Ukraine bill.
"Now, our Democrat colleagues were talking about, 'Oh, if we would have just done that bipartisan bill, we could have fixed this whole thing.' Why would Schumer think, having not passed that bill, the Democrats are in better shape on the border than they were three months ago? Better shape would be we were securing the border. That's not what they wanted. They wanted political cover and they are using that political cover. They used it today. It was just galling.
"This is purposeful on their part. This is willful. They want an open border. They caused this and my first question, after I just showed him our chart, showed him the undeniable reality of their catastrophe, was just to ask him a simple question: 'Why did you do it? Why did you open up the border? Why do you want an open border?'"
