I thank the gentleman from Texas for his remarks. He mentioned as one of the policies that this current President has put in place through a unilateral action--by the way, he has done more executive orders than the last three or four Presidents combined--was to repeal or rescind the national emergency declaration. But it is so rich, so rich that at the same time he is doing this, the Democrat leadership of the House under Speaker Pelosi has lined the streets around the perimeter of the Capitol with the National Guard. The height of hypocrisy. Mr. Speaker, the American people aren't buying this. They are not. The Speaker called the walls at the southern border protecting our fellow Americans and communities immoral, until she erected razor-wire fencing around the people's House. It is offensive. It is shameful, and it is an outrage. And it is a double standard, if I have ever seen one. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Hern), a good friend of mine, and a colleague representing Oklahoma's First District.
