I am going to yield to my colleague in just a second. But this should be easy to vote for because you yourself said there is nothing in here that provides funding for detentions. So I look forward to seeing the gentleman vote for my amendment because, actually, then you are saying there is no problem here, we are going to make sure that these funds actually go where they are supposed to, to disaster relief. That is all I am saying in this amendment is let's make sure that the funds we appropriate go to disaster relief, which is necessary, and States across the country--certainly in my part of the country-- wildfires, hurricanes--we have lots of issues we have got to deal with here. So, given that the gentleman just started his remarks with multiple statements saying there is nothing in this bill that would allow for this, I look forward to seeing your yes vote on my amendment. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Espaillat). The Acting CHAIR. Members are again reminded to address their remarks to the Chair.
