accurate quote. It is really tiresome that third parties are taking liberties in paraphrasing. What is wrong with producing his ACTUAL QUOTE?

"Our position has been clear from the beginning: Ds & Rs have a months-old agreement in the Senate. $1.6B for border security, NOT a concrete wall or increases in detention beds or ICE agents. We should stick to this agreement. If POTUS interferes, he is responsible for a shutdown"
