“First of all, I will let you know, so we break the suspense, I will probably be more like 5 minutes, so it is easier for everybody. Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk one more time about the crisis at the border. One more week has gone by, and for 1 more week, Donald Trump is out there alone fighting to preserve the integrity of our border and who the future citizens of the United States of America are. Donald Trump is a fan of immigration, that is why, on his watch, we are now up to around 750,000 people being sworn in legally in this country every year, and there has been no effort made to really substantially reduce that number. Nevertheless, we do want to pick our immigrants. We want our immigrants to be people who have come here legally and are appropriately vetted, and Donald Trump is doing what he can--without any help from Congress, I might add--to make sure that that happens. The first thing that Congress has to do is to make permanent the Public Charge rule. Donald Trump has correctly said, even for legal immigrants, we are not going to take people in this country if we expect they would be permanently, or close to permanently, taking advantage of the programs our government has to offer. Right now, 63 percent of the noncitizens, compared to 35 percent of the native-born, are on some sort of government program.…”
