“I want to thank my colleague, Mr. Castro from the good State of Texas, for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to address this most important issue of asylum and this most important issue of children seeking asylum in this great country of ours. We have to remember who this country is. We have to remember who we are as a people. We are all immigrants in this country. Except if you are native-born, Native American, you are not. But 99.9 percent of us were all immigrants. We all came to this country, our forefathers came to this country seeking a better life, seeking better opportunities, and seeking to run away from tyranny that was provided to them by other countries. Today, I hope that the people who are watching and the people who are listening understand what is at stake today. We cannot look away. We cannot ignore what is going on. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair.”
