Mr. Speaker, I thank my friends, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Clyde) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy) for speaking so effectively on this issue. We cannot talk enough about the border. In my district, we just did a survey asking my constituents what is the most important issue, what is the number one issue facing the country, and the southern border was the overwhelming response. They realize that is hundreds of miles from them geographically, but it is coming home to them in my very district in Bedford and Campbell Counties, just outside greater Lynchburg. They are otherwise as peaceful and as safe places to live as anyplace in the country. Both of these counties have recently had sexual assaults committed by illegal aliens allowed into this country. Wait, let me check myself: helped into this country, purposely helped into this country by this President and his open-border policies. It gets worse every day. We have spoken many times, and we need to continue to speak about Laken Riley, the young lady from Mr. Clyde's area of Georgia, brutally murdered by an illegal alien helped into this country by this President's open-border policies. To what lengths will this administration go to keep the borders open?…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Mr. Speaker, my friend from Virginia said it himself. The unions, the Teamsters and the steelworkers, are for this. That is reason enough to oppose this. We talked about the…
