Senator Katie Britt was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss President Trump’s America First agenda. She explained that sanctuary cities are a threat to the safety of American citizens and that a lack of cooperation puts law enforcement and citizens in danger.
Footage showed Democrat Senator Chris Murphy blaming the Department of Homeland Security. Senator Britt responded to those claims. She also explained that the Democrats wanted a faster timetable than the Republicans regarding a continuing resolution.
“When we got to a CR, a two-week CR, President Trump and Republicans wanted six weeks. Democrats are the ones that wanted two. We said we’ve got to have time to figure out a pathway forward. They insisted on two. We began working in good faith,” Britt said.
Senator Britt explained that President Trump has made an effort to work with the opposition, but that they are not responding to the good faith efforts of the President and the Republican party.
“You saw everything from the leadership from the President all the way down. The President reaching out to Governor Walz. The President reaching out to Mayor Frey. You saw the Secretary deploy body cameras. And then in addition to all of that, you saw Tom Homan go in,” Britt said.
“You saw the announcement there on Thursday of saying that we have had a successful mission. Over 4,000 criminal illegal aliens found in Minnesota and over 3,000 unaccompanied children that we didn’t know where they were in this nation that have been identified,” Britt continued.
“When you look at the timeline of the Democrats, they didn’t even tell us what they wanted until a social media post about seven days in,” Britt said.
“It is clear that Republicans are working in good faith, and I think it was really shortsighted of Democrats to walk away from actually securing our homeland,” Senator Britt explained.
The Senator also explained that the priority of the Trump administration is to put the American citizens first and keep the safe and secure.
“This is big. This is how we keep Americans safe. We keep them safe through FEMA. We keep them safe through TSA. We keep them safe through the Coast Guard,” Britt said.
President Trump has shown his commitment to keeping America safe by enforcing immigration laws and continuing to make sure the border is secure.
“In addition, obviously Border Patrol and ICE. And look, President Trump is not going to back away from the mission, the American people said they wanted him to complete. And that is securing our border, and making sure that we actually do interior enforcement,” Britt continued.
“We know that we are going to support the law and we are going to enforce the law and that doing it the right way matters,” Britt said.
