This past week, we were privileged to have been invited by our Speaker, those of us who have been in the military, served our country in the military, to go with her to the 75th anniversary of Normandy. It was deeply moving. And to be on those beaches and to see and know the sacrifices that occurred there, we talked in terms of it being an invasion over and over. Now I get back to Texas and I found out, last month, about the same number, about 144,000 invaded France, is what we had last month here in America--just right here, even, in Texas. We are being invaded by people who do not know how to preserve a self-government. Ben Franklin said: It is a Republic, madam, if you can keep it. If we don't stop the invasion, we will not keep it. ____________________
