reserving the right to object, the President has called the crisis at the border a humanitarian crisis. If that is not an emergency, I do not know what is. But as a result of the majority leader's refusal to allow us to offer any constructive suggestions to reform the law to stop this flow of humanity across our borders and actually solve the problem, the supplemental has now fallen to a budget point of order.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
