Madam Chair, I also thank my colleague from Texas on the other side of aisle for bringing up a good point, that we should be thinking about how to remove people who come across illegally. That is exactly what Border Patrol agents told me just this past weekend when I was in Eagle Pass. Their solution, which was the last solution of the administration, was deportation. I think my colleague was actually the one on TV about a week ago who said--and I am not necessarily quoting exactly what my colleague said-- until you see the images of people being deported, they are going to continue to come. I couldn't agree with him more, that those images need to happen because that is the message that we need to send. So, no, we don't need a remain in Texas policy. We need a remain in Mexico policy. We need to go back to the policies of the previous administration that were working before we had millions of people coming into this country illegally because they know that the border is wide open. This is a symptom. Let's get to the root cause. Let's send H.R. 2 in the form that we passed it here in the House to the Senate and to the President and secure our border once and for all. Enough is enough. Madam Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR.
