Well, for another perspective now, we're joined by Democratic Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota.

Senator, welcome back to the NewsHour.

Thanks for joining us.

And we know as a result of all this, you and other Democrats, as Lisa was reporting,

are saying you'll oppose a funding package for DHS.

So give us your latest take. Is this fight worth a partial
