I believe we are on the bipartisan en bloc amendment. To that point, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Missouri (Mrs. Wagner) for an encore performance on another amendment.

This amendment seeks to strike several provisions that are crucial to ending the open border crisis that this administration has created. While I have heard it just portrayed as somehow being cruel and being done by names that are called…
