In a building that conspicuously marked its exterior with the word ``children,'' the brutal Putin bombed without stopping this safe house in Mariupol. Obviously, it was completely destroyed. There were 300 people dead and little children sitting around the dead bodies of their parents. The whole city has been leveled. The whole country has been attacked by a brutal dictator. Of course, we know the peace talks are going on, I encourage that. As well, I believe that the allies should continue to give weapons and there should be some process for giving them fighter jets. Madam Speaker, I want to thank the Secretary of Homeland Security for recognizing that we will have to receive Ukrainian refugees, Haitian refugees, and, yes, refugees from the border. We are, in fact, a humane country. We have the ability to be able to assure the world that we will be a refuge and, as well, protect the American people. That is what we do: we protect the American people, provide them jobs, give them safety, but, as well, we are a refuge for the world. Madam Speaker, I thank the Secretary for his work. Let's let Ukraine win this, either in peace or in war. ____________________
