I guess the President of the United States was able to find the southern border on a map. It took him 2 years to finally get down to the southern border, and what happens? Everybody just goes around and cleans up everything that is going on in El Paso. Let me tell you something: The people of Texas know the truth. In Texas we are dealing every single day with 6,000, 7,000, or 8,000 people crossing the border every day. Now, with a House majority, we have got the will and we have got the power to do something about it. It is time we do something because the people of Texas are taking the brunt every single day. There are still migrants that are being sold into the sex trafficking trade. There are still Americans who are dying from fentanyl poisonings. No camera presence down in El Paso, no going down there for a show trip is going change the fact that Texans are struggling. It is time right now for the House majority to do our job. We are going to have to stop funding a Department of Homeland Security that refuses to secure the border of the United States. We are going to do that this year. {time} 2140 ADJOURNMENT
