On the recordMarch 31, 2022
One of my good friends who was a former Texas Department of Public Safety expert on these issues dealing with cartels just sent me a text showing me video from last night at the border, and individuals they were recording were saying they were paying $3,000 or $5,000 to get across the river. How is that compassionate? They are going to have to make a monthly payment to cartels. A lot of those payments are going to come in the form of sex trafficking and labor trafficking. I have about 1\1/2\ minutes remaining. I would just say--and I thank my friends for joining me down here on the House floor--that this is a solvable problem right now. This could be stopped right now. It could be stopped right now.
