Solomon Ortiz Zitate

Dieser Kongress hat alle Arten von Grenz- und Hafensicherheit in Milliardenhöhe versprochen ... dennoch haben wir unsere Versprechen für die Sicherheit des Hafens bis heute mit nur 900 Millionen US-Dollar finanziert. Das ist ziemlich weit entfernt von dem, was wir sagen, und dem, was wir tatsächlich tun.
