“Funny he should ask. Yes, we just happen to have the rope. So here is the end of the barrier right here. It is an impressive barrier till you get to the end, and then you have got the rope he was referring to, and then they have got this barbwire fence-- pretty sad barbwire, four-strand, and it is anything but tight. The only thing that keeps somebody from crossing our border, you have got the massive barrier, the concertina wire, and then you have this little quarter-inch cord here and kind of a slipknot that you can undo, and then pull the gate open and come right through. That is one of our brave border patrolmen right there. I won't give Art's full name. But anyway, and the other thing we saw, there is a trail that goes right down there. That trail--and I know Mr. Griffith noticed this--but that trail doesn't come down all the way to the barrier. It leads--and you can follow it all the way through this area for miles. It comes right here to where the cord is instead of where the big barrier is. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my friend.”
