Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman. And he has indeed been in Washington too long. Madam Speaker, there is a common denominator tonight. The crisis at the border and the problems with the infrastructure package were both entirely created by the Biden administration. They were both thus completely avoidable, completely predictable, and they have done and are doing an extraordinary disservice and real damage to the American people. We ask, again, of all of our Democrat colleagues and President Biden and his administration, please, please, for the sake of our country, put the partisanship aside. Let's govern with common sense, let's fix these problems before they become so great that we are unable to do so. Madam Speaker, we end the Special Order, and I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
