I want to thank Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for clearing up a lot of the misconceptions that are being purposely spread out there that this was something that was used by the Obama administration. It absolutely was not. It is being purposely spread on social media, and people are lying about the past and what happened. It is completely different, and I want to thank her for clearing that up. I now yield to the gentleman from Newark, New Jersey (Mr. Payne), who is the gentleman representing the eastern coast of New Jersey.
