Congressman Tom O’Halleran: ‘The number one job is to get the budget done’

More from this show

Democratic Congressman Tom O’Halleran joined us on “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the government shut down and the proposed border wall.

O’Halleran explained that their job is to get the budget done.

“We have the money, we have the resources available, this is a political process, sadly, not a policy-related process,” he said.

In terms of the border wall, O’Halleran explained that politicians need to work together to reach a conclusion and added, “I’m not in the mood to be intimated; it’s not a one-way discussion.”
