“I appreciate what my colleague earlier offered as the previous question with respect to Title 42, because what we are seeing at the border is an absolute travesty, and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are going to do nothing, literally nothing about that today, even as we see people spilling across the border who are clearly testing positive for COVID. We have a hotel in La Joya, Texas, that is literally filled right now with individuals who are heavily testing positive for COVID. These are the facts on the ground. I know my friend, the Speaker, knows how bad it is at the border, knows how bad it is in Laredo, knows how bad it is in Del Rio, knows how bad it is in McAllen. I have got a text here from a sheriff in a small Texas town saying, ``We are passing an emergency declaration tonight at city council that no illegal immigrants can be released in the city of Uvalde per the CDC guidelines of countries on their list without a negative COVID test. We have had our health authority write orders that give us the authority to have them, government, Border Patrol, and immigrants, quarantine for 10 to 14 days. We have a crisis at our border, and we are playing footsie with mask mandates in the people's House. I mean, it is absolutely absurd what this body is doing, the people's House. It is an embarrassment. It is a mockery. The American people are fed up. They want to go back to life. They want to go back to business.…”
