Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, to sum up the debate, H. Res. 461 does four things. It sends a clear message about our values. It condemns lawbreaking where Democrat politicians have failed to do so. It tells parents that we are on their side. Most importantly, it reiterates that public school facilities should be used for educating children, not housing illegal immigrants, because the academic success and safety of America's students must be put first. Therefore, I urge the House of Representatives and Congress to pass H. Res. 461, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired. Pursuant to House Resolution 524, the previous question is ordered on the resolution and the preamble, as amended. The question is on adoption of the resolution. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.
