Madam Speaker, the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) said that in this bill they were able to successfully reject Republicans' request for spending reductions and rejected Republicans' request for riders. Yet, somehow, the Republicans are going to vote for that. That is outrageous. She is right, though. She got the spending. She killed the riders. When I hear that a vote against this is a vote for China, what we really are saying is a vote for this is a vote for Chinese terrorism because we have had over 30,000 illegal aliens from China come across the border with this border policy. What you are going to get is you are voting actually to speed up the process of redistribution of illegal aliens that come in because that is what the funding is going to go for. You are talking about beds? Those beds are going to go empty. Why? Because you are going to ship these people out as soon as they get here. That is what is happening within 24 hours. So the crimes, the fentanyl death, the terrorist initiatives that are coming our way, you vote for this, you are funding it, you own it.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, surely, it must have snowed in Arizona last night. I thought I heard the gentleman agree with Steve Bannon. Hell must have frozen over is all I can say. Now, here is the…
