I thank the vice chair for yielding, first of all, and I thank his dedication to this country and his friendship to me, and he will be missed. He is a good dude. Mr. Speaker, the State Department has been giving out cash vouchers to illegal aliens. Now, imagine this. There are veterans living, literally, under bridges in the district I represent, yet they are giving folks that come over our border yours and mine hard-earned tax dollars. We don't know who the heck they are. They have never been able to provide an actual number or amount. That is by design, Mr. Speaker. I have heard it stated, our country has been flooded with 10 million, 11 million, but I think it is probably closer to 15 million illegals in the last almost 4 years, and nobody knows exactly how many. Again, that is by design. You add to that list the answers we don't have. Not only do we not know how much they have received in assistance, dadgummit, we don't even know how many people have received this assistance. The White House will not give us this information. We have all had the phone calls and the emails and the letters. We have seen the pictures of the buses unloading folks when they drop these folks, illegals, out into our districts, and no one can tell us who the heck they are, where they came from, or if they are expected to return anywhere. All you can count on is more tax dollars being spent. We are $35 trillion in debt.…
