I thank my friend from Utah. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Salazar), my friend.

I have an amendment that prohibits any of the MILCON-VA funding appropriated from being used to modify or remove any VA display of the original mission statement. Now, just a quick second before I go there. I didn't reserve my time because…

I will reiterate the extent to which this motto came directly from a quote from President Lincoln at his Second Inaugural Address at a particularly important and historic moment in our Nation's history. That was the point. The literal…

I believe you want the American people to believe we have operational control of the border when we very clearly do not.

the American people are tired of.

The American people need to be told the truth about what's actually happening.

Under that strict definition this country has never had operational control.

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania, and I want to pick up on what he has observed when he goes home to Pennsylvania, when he is traveling around this country. He has observed what I observe, having individuals pull me aside in an…

In this 2 weeks following Independence Day, you do a lot of thinking if you are, as I assume my friend was, part of an Independence Day parade. There are a lot of patriotic Americans out there, particularly in flyover country, who love…

I thank my friend from Pennsylvania for his comments. I think I have less than a minute left, and I will close with, as I said before, as General George Washington said on July 2, 1776, 247 years ago, on the day we actually declared…
