Marsha Blackburn said "the topic of this week, the topic of discussion with our constituents, with those who are calling us is illegal immigration and their concern over Mexico's choosing and wanting to sue the United States for defending our borders. Mr. Speaker, America has reached a consensus and our constituents have reached a consensus on this issue. What they are telling us is secure our borders. Show us a secured border. Show us a plan of action. Allow us to know that we can have our faith restored in your ability to secure this Nation. We hear from them. They are letting us know that they expect us to uphold our oath to defend and protect this Nation. Mr. Speaker, we are listening. In this body we have been listening. Last fall we took action. We encourage all to join us in securing the border of this great Nation. ___________________
