I stand with our great ally as they fight to eliminate the dire threat to their survival posed by the Iranian-backed terrorists.

I also rise in opposition to the amendment. Chair Rogers is exactly right. I want to emphasize one of the points that he made. The language in the bill that this amendment is proposing to strike is effectively the same language Congress…

This includes by diverting funds intended for American families struggling with hunger and homelessness to illegal aliens.

The NDAA is laser-focused on one thing, national security. It shuts down woke programs and protects America's men and women in uniform. Since 2021, the DOD has spent $47 million per year to store and secure unused southern border wall…

It could all be alleviated if this administration would just secure the Southern Border.

When they're wondering when help is coming, what do you want me to tell them?

I thank the Congressman for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the distinguished gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin).

I thank those who have participated in this Special Order hour. Mr. Speaker, as I said, I speak firsthand as an emergency medical technician for 34 years in town. We have seen so many things occur, so many families that have been affected…

Under your leadership, it appears, our Border Patrol agents are the ones that are being handcuffed, while illegal aliens... are pouring into America.

You were Secretary under Obama when 150 miles of border wall was built. You were Secretary of Department of Homeland Security.

These cartels have gained complete control of the Southwest Border and a significant portion of the U.S. drug market.

Do you agree with your expert Custom and Patrol Border Chief Raul Ortiz, who said before this committee last month that he disagreed with Biden's decision to shut down construction of that 250 miles of border wall that Congress…

over the last 2 years, Americans have watched as this administration has rolled back successful border policies, instead choosing chaos at the Southern Border.

It's appalling that the Democrats didn't show up, and America is under attack.

There's people out there, they can talk about him all they want, but Donald Trump kept our country safe.

This invasion is not a Democratic issue. It is not a Republican issue. It is an American issue.

I rise because no American is safe. The United States Secretary of Homeland Security says that the American border is secure. The American people know better. It is for these reasons I traveled to our southern border with several of my…
