                             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.
