I think it is important that we hear this because you have got 435 Members of Congress who, importantly, have to go home and explain to our constituents what is going on.

I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma and the gentleman from New York for yielding time, and I respect the amount of work they have put into this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I rise, without surprise to anyone in this room, in opposition to the…

What we have seen in recent months is troubling.

I thank the ranking member, and appreciate you all giving us the courtesy of being able to come and speak about some matters that are important to us and legislation that we think might be important for this committee to consider.

We know the extraordinary impact those cartels are having, not only on the border communities, but our Nation as a whole, our national security, as well as our friends to the south in Mexico, in destabilizing the region.
