It’s past time we push back against Iranian aggression throughout the region, particularly the threats against our friends in Israel. I can’t say it any better than PM @netanyahu does – the Iran nuclear deal either needs to be Fixed or Nixed.

We also had a terrific briefing by @IDFSpokesperson regarding threats from Syria and Iran. The main takeaway is we need to be more supportive of the King of Jordan and our ally Israel because they are surrounded by radical elements.

Great meeting today in Israel with @IsraeliPM. He gave a thorough and insightful view of the security situation facing both Israel and the United States.https://twitter.com/IsraeliPM/status/966687266956611584 …

Dr. Graham was a counselor to presidents, a pastor to the masses, and most of all -- a loving, caring, husband, father, and grandfather. May he Rest In Peace.

One of the greatest messengers of Christ has gone to his heavenly reward. Dr. Graham spread the good news to millions across the world and led a life beyond reproach.

This is good news for the people of Utah, the Republican Party, and the nation as a whole.

Very excited to hear @MittRomney is running for the Utah Senate seat. He will be a worthy successor to Senator @OrrinHatch. Mitt is a strong and reliable voice on national security and will bring a deep knowledge of how to improve the American economy.https://twitter.com/MittRomney/status/964489491682504704 …

The only way forward is for President Trump to grab the reins and lead us to a solution.

I do not believe victory will be achieved by further politicization of this issue. That’s the oldest game in the Swamp – blame the other side. There’s already enough intensity around immigration.

Looking ahead, I continue to believe there is a deal to be had on immigration that gives President Trump many of his priorities on the border and relief for the DACA-eligible population.

This two-pillar approach is the best way to deal with phase one of immigration reform. Receiving fifty-four votes for this construct was encouraging. We are not there yet, but we will keep working to build our numbers.

I’m very proud of the bipartisan effort (Rounds-King) that would have given President Trump his border wall system money and created a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients.

I’m disappointed with today’s outcome in the Senate. I supported all four proposals, including the legislation backed by President Trump. Unfortunately, they all failed to reach the sixty votes necessary to move forward.

It looks like demagogues on the left and the right win again on immigration.

An overwhelming majority of Americans are sympathetic to the DREAMERS cause but do not view it as an entitlement.

Everyone is saying, ‘Don’t do comprehensive immigration reform’ except when it comes to the issues they want addressed. This attitude of ‘I must get everything in Round One’ has doomed the effort to failure.
