before he leaves the floor, let me just congratulate our colleague from Ohio. That was, perhaps, the most concise and informative speech I have heard on that topic, including speeches that I have given on that topic. In representing a border State, as I do, and in my having served on the Judiciary Committee and on the Immigration Subcommittee for my entire time here, the way he described it, I thought, was entirely accurate.

So I thank him for his outstanding remarks. (Ms. CORTEZ MASTO assumed the Chair.)
