“I bring you news from the third front. We have the first front in the war in Afghanistan, the second front is the war in Iraq, and the third front is the border with our neighbors to the south--Mexico. We are finally beginning to learn that there is concrete evidence of a new border plan by this administration. The administration's new plan is this. And let me show you. The plan is to put up warning signs--signs like this one right here. And I happen to have a photograph of one of these signs. It's on Interstate 8 in Arizona. The Bureau of Land Management began posting these signs recently in locations along Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend in Arizona. It's an east-west stretch of highway about 60 miles long. Phoenix is 30 miles to the north. The border with Mexico is 80 to 100 miles to the south. About a dozen of these signs have been posted. You probably can't see this, Madam Speaker, so let's go through it. Of course, at the top it's in red: Danger: Public Warning--Travel Not Recommended. The Federal Government, the administration, and its new border security plan is to tell us, Don't travel this highway. It's not recommended by the Federal Government. The administration has issued travel warnings to citizens to not travel in parts of America. It's just too dangerous for Americans to go through America. The sign goes on and says some more. Right here, the first bullet point: Active Drug and Human Smuggling Area.”
