Political Quotes

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, don't believe me. I would say don't believe Mr. Polis either. Believe the border security guard that I quoted earlier who said that the situation we have at the border happened under the previous administration as well as this one. Mr. Trump, our President, did not manufacture this crisis, but this bill before us will solve that situation, which is why we need to pass this rule. That whole issue takes away from one of the most pressing issues of our time, immigration reform. We will solve that, but we can also address immigration. I am proud of the bill we have before us. I am proud that we have had so many speakers come and speak on its behalf. This is the only bill in front of us that has any potential chance of becoming law. The President will sign this bill because it addresses his four main pillars: it provides for border security, which the American people want. And, certainly, as we have talked a lot today, it provides for those 1.8 million DACA recipients and Dreamers. It is a good bill. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill because it is the right thing to do.

I am extremely concerned that we are potentially giving CCP unprecedented access, not only to data on our U.S. citizens, but also sensitive data in areas of military installations or U.S. infrastructure.
