Mr. Speaker, I thought we would come here today and have a reasoned opportunity to address this question. Let me be very clear. I have been in this body long enough to say that we have had a time where Members have been here and we have had control of the border, in the interpretation that my Republicans might say. We have had a flow of immigrants. We have had processes, and we have had challenges. We have spoken to the issue of providing funding for these challenges. Here is what the issue is. The issue is that we have a past President who sees in his jurisdiction and career to block the flow of immigrants who are building and continuing to work with us in working on this Nation. They come from Ukraine. They may come from Israel. They may come from Palestine. They may come from Taiwan. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Newhouse). The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
