We have got a friend and colleague--our friend and colleague, the senior Senator from Wisconsin, has many titles in the Senate, titles of distinction. He is the prince of plastics, the maven of manufacturing, the connoisseur of cheese curds. He is also, among other things, someone who has identified himself as a chancellor of charts showing the profound depth of our border security crisis.

He has built on these charts, and he has built on them in a way that has resulted in their catching fire. You will now see politicians all over the country at every level of government--and I mean every level of government--utilizing his charts because they are the best in the business. Let's hear from him now.
