On the recordJuly 17, 2019
Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. King, his passion for this. And I want to run through a few numbers before I go to Mr. Chip Roy from Texas. Southwest border apprehensions by U.S. Customs, total apprehensions from October 2018 to May of 2019, 593,507. May of 2019, apprehensions alone, 138,887--highest month in over a decade. Total inadmissibles in October of 2018 to 2019, 82,808. Inadmissibles, these are people who can't come into the country because of their record. Mr. Speaker, 2019, 6 months total already has exceeded the total for the year of 2015. At this time, I yield to Mr. Chip Roy from Texas, a passionate individual about this. And I, again, thank Mr. King.
