Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I would like to discuss border security, not as viewed by Washington elites, but how it is viewed by average Americans. Democratic leaders and the media will tell you that most Americans don't support President Trump's proposed southern border wall. They will tell you that a border wall is not needed; it is immoral; it won't fix the country's illegal immigration problem. I currently represent Florida's Third Congressional District, and here I have a picture of my district's public creative space, the 34th Street graffiti wall that is well known in Gainesville. This wall is used by local organizations to express their thoughts on issues and display information for community events. Recently, local residents painted their support of President Trump's proposed wall for all passersby to see. The wall reads: ``Keep the government shutdown until the wall is funded. Call Congress. We the people demand Congress fund and build the wall now.'' It is a great example of everyday Americans voicing their support for what matters most to them. It is clear that Americans do support President Trump's security stance, despite exaggerated reports by the media and my colleagues on the other side. I have heard from hundreds of my constituents who are in support of the wall. Their voices have been heard, and I will remain strong for border security and protecting this Nation. ____________________”
