“I thank the gentleman. To the gentleman's point, a reminder that in 2006, 64 Democrats in the House joined the Republicans to pass the Secure Fence Act to build 700 miles of fencing along the border, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer. Then the next year there was some money in an appropriations bill for the wall, and both Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Hoyer voted for it. So I think the gentleman is right. It is time to work together to get this done. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Green), who is a new member of Congress. I am glad to see Dr. Mark Green. I am glad that he is here. We are excited to have the gentleman serving with us here in the body and being a former service member from the Army who is part of the elite unit that helped capture Saddam Hussein. The gentleman knows a little bit about security, so I appreciate the gentleman's sharing his thoughts on where we are at tonight.”
