EXCERPT:

KAINE: "I'd completely agree. Let's fund all these agencies that don't have funds right now. And let's confine the ICE and CBP discussion to what are the reforms necessary --"
BRENNAN: "Why isn't that happening?"
KAINE: "Well, we've offered this on the floor and the Republicans have thus far rejected. They've said, you've got to fund everything or nothing. And we've said, we've agreed on all the other agencies. Let's do that. But ICE and CBP need reforms. We've made that very, very plain. And American citizens want there to be reforms. And so that is the focus right now. And they do have enough money because the Republicans provided it to them last summer in the reconciliation bill."
