Political Quotes

“I reserve a point of order on the gentleman's amendment. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Alabama reserves a point of order. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his amendment. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Chairman, this amendment will increase funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the salaries and expenses in order to increase the number of Border Enforcement Security Task Force teams. I, along with Mr. Cuellar, have been down to the border and seen the direct benefits of the BEST teams in terms of interdicting the southbound flow of cash and weapons. It's my sincere hope that with additional resources we could stop the flow of weapons going south into Mexico, but also seize the cash and asset forfeiture money that could then, in turn, help pay for our border security operations. With that, I yield to my good friend from Texas.”
