Michael Burgess said "This Nation was built by immigrants. And we take in, legally and lawfully, over a million immigrants each year; more than any other country. But those seeking to come here must follow our laws, must follow our current regulations. Unfortunately, they do not get to cross the border just because they want to; they must acquire proper documentation and take precautions to protect public health, as is currently required by all other Americans by the Biden administration. Madam Speaker, so I urge my fellow Members to vote against the previous question so we can immediately take up this important bill. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I just want to point out for the record that in Texas only 51 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. That is better than Tennessee, but still that means half the population. Madam Speaker, I yield 15 seconds to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess)." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
