The American people are tired of getting a complete lack of representation from their Representatives. Nobody in this country looks at Congress and says: Wow. Heck of a job, guys and gals. Well done. Who would do that? Would we do that? By the way, it does not matter who is sitting in the Speaker's seat or who has got the majority. We keep doing the same stupid stuff. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle have no problem with wide-open borders endangering the people that I represent. None. My constituents are the ones left holding the bag, and the people of Texas are the ones left spending $12.5 billion. My people are the ones who have had six kids die from fentanyl poisoning in the school district that I represent. It is not fun to smirk at that, is it? We are talking about dead children from fentanyl poisoning because of wide-open borders because of the policies of my Democrat colleagues who refuse to do anything about it. My colleagues won't do anything about the wide-open borders. I will continue to speak to my colleagues. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair.
