Right. You are not welcome to come here illegally, and you are not welcome to flout our laws. You are welcome to come here and follow our laws that we have in place for people who come here legally. There is a waiting list, by the way. What do you say to the people who are waiting? Don't worry about it. Let all these other folks come in and just walk through or cross the Rio Grande endangering themselves, endangering Border Patrol, not providing resources to the Border Patrol to do their job, so they are the ones left hanging, dealing with COVID, not having resources, being alone at midnight with no cell signal, no ability to talk on the radio, and no ability to move their car up and down the Rio Grande River. I have got a bill with my friend, Henry Cuellar, to have navigable roads and a fence along the river. Why won't Speaker Pelosi bring that bipartisan bill to the floor of the United States House of Representatives? It is for one reason and one reason only: Democrats want a political tool. They want the political reality of a wide-open border. There is zero other defense for what Democrats are doing, instead of actually doing what it takes to secure the border of the United States.
