I am prepared to close. I am going to tell you something. I am a businessman. The one problem in this country is that southern border down there is wide open. We have folks flooding across that place. We have hot spots all over the world. We have already announced how many terrorists from the watch list we have caught down there. As a businessman, I look at that and I say, who is in charge of that? That is Vice President Kamala Harris. If you can't change out who is in charge of it, then it is our duty as Representatives to make sure that she doesn't get paid for not doing her job. The American people should no longer be on the hook for Vice President Harris' failures. Mr. Chair, I urge all my colleagues to adopt this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Collins). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
