It was brought up by the opposition that there are no plans as of yet--as of yet--to transport Palestinians back to the United States of America, but there was a long speech that was given outlining how this could potentially happen in the future and we shouldn't prevent it from happening. I believe that, again, we are just on opposite sides of this issue. We should prevent this from taking place on the dime of the American taxpayer, transporting those that voted for Hamas as their popular government, and that if Hamas was not likely to be their government then it would probably be another terrorist organization such as Fatah or Palestinian Islamic Jihad or al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade or another group that is dedicated to not seeing Israel as a Jewish state, and in turn, quite dedicated to the destruction of the United States of America and our ideals. I will go back to something, since the previous debate was brought up, that I brought up in the previous debate. I have not heard anybody in this body as of yet say that the people of Gaza are an ally of the United States of America. As such, we should stand strong, stand firm with our ally Israel, not transport our non-ally who is at war with our ally into our country, and make sure that no resources are being used to do so. Madam Chair, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

To belittle this mission is to belittle and demean the very service these members who gave their lives.

I am going to respond to the trove of ridiculous things that I have heard said on this floor. Speaking generally about life, I know that there are people out there that when they get hit, they curl up, they cry, and they don't deal with…
