“I thank Congressman Griffith. I appreciate his wisdom. I always have and always will. I, again, echo the comments he made about thanking Congressman Andy Biggs, for arranging this, and Paul Gosar for his help. They are both fantastic Members of Congress from Arizona. I thank Arizona for sending Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar here. They are invaluable. I hope we are going to be able to help Arizona finish--look, the President has already backed off of the $25 billion requested. I thought that was an exceedingly reasonable request when you look at the damage occurring to families all over America, and especially to the families of people who are being lured in here to their death or detriment. Let's move that fence a little further along. Let's get an agreement done so that we can help out these landowners and the people who are suffering, so no more people will be stabbed, even though they were not American citizens, stabbed and forced to watch your wife be repeatedly raped. I mean, how callous do you have to be to say: No, we don't want to deal with that problem; we are going to allow that to keep going? How callous do you have to be? As we understand it, the family member--we have talked to his sister--he went out there and always provided water and food to people who were illegally crossing into the United States and were illegally on their property, and yet he ends up being shot dead in the head. It is time to start doing more to protect Americans.…”
