On the recordJuly 17, 2019
I thank the gentleman for his leadership tonight in bringing an opportunity for us to speak on the floor of the House of Representatives on an issue that is front and center for most of the American people. It is, by far, the number one issue that the American people care about. I can particularly speak to the people of Texas, who are bearing the brunt of the failed border security, the failed immigration policies of the Federal Government. I had the opportunity to visit an ICE detention facility in Aurora, Colorado, this past Saturday. I was out in Denver for a Western Conservative Summit. I was visiting family members, and I saw this terrible story of individuals rushing the ICE facility in Aurora, Colorado, and taking down the American flag, defacing the American flag, then raising the Mexican flag.
