The gentleman makes some excellent remarks. The 300 deaths a day due to overdoses, the opioid crisis with 90 percent of the opioids coming across the southern border, that is why we have got to secure the border. I agree; we have a humanitarian crisis. There are 60,000 illegals caught a month trying to cross our border. In Missouri's Fourth District, we don't have very many towns that even have 60,000 individuals. That is a lot of people per month coming across. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Walberg), my colleague. I thank the gentleman for coming tonight, and I look forward to hearing what he has to share about this important topic.
