Lives have been cut short by illegal immigrants on this administration's watch. We hear consistently about someone presenting to the border saying they have got credible fear if they return to their home country. They are granted asylum. They are essentially given a free card into this country. What about Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, Laken Riley, Alex Wise, Jr., Lizbeth Medina, Melissa Powell, Riordan Powell, and Travis Wolfe? These are just a few of the individuals whose lives have been stolen by this crisis. Where was their protection from credible fear? These are United States citizens who have been lost because of the actions the President has taken at the southern border. I thank the Appropriations Committee for working so hard on getting these bills ready for us. It has been an enormous amount of work. I thank the underlying committees who provided the work for us to review in the Rules Committee yesterday. Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of the rule and the bills on the floor.
