“The gentleman knows that we are feeling that impact in Texas. He just mentioned fentanyl. We just got the new data from the CDC: 117,000 dead Americans. Yet, nothing but crickets coming from our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. They don't care. They don't care about 117,000 dead Americans, directly as a consequence of Chinese-produced fentanyl pouring in through cartels, through Mexico, into the United States. Nothing. Crickets. Have you seen a bill on the floor of this body to deal with that? Have you seen any efforts by our friends on the other side of the aisle to secure the border of the United States legitimately or force the hand of Secretary Mayorkas to actually enforce the policies of the United States? Madam Speaker, very specifically, we have a discharge petition at the desk with the signature of every Republican but not one Democrat willing to go to the Democrats leading the administration and say, We need to secure the border of the United States and enforce the policies, including title 42 and whatever it takes to secure the border. Is the gentleman aware of that?”
