• Watch Sen. Cornyns comments on the Senate Floor here.

How did we get here? President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton failed in their efforts to stabilize the country after toppling Qaddafi. What we need and what the world needs is American leadership and a commitment from the White House to root out and annihilate ISIS where it lives and breathes." There is a direct relationship between the battlefield in Iraq and Syria and our neighborhoods and communities here in America. What happens there matters here."

If the President wont act decisively against our adversaries abroad Congress must do all we can do to guard against the enemy here at home. Passing appropriations bills that provide the resources for federal state and local law enforcement are part of our responsibility to make sure that our first responders and law enforcement community have the resources they need and I hope we get that done soon." Sen. Cornyn serves on the Senate Finance and the Senate Judiciary Committees. He also serves as Senate Majority Whip the 2nd-highest ranking position in the Senate Republican Conference.
