Louie Gohmert: “In 2007 there was a vote in this body about whether or not we provide…”

There was enough fentanyl coming across in the past year to kill every American adult. The problem is worse. Folks here were for a wall, a barrier. It seems the only difference is now there is a President that some in here absolutely despise. ____________________
