The record will show that I raised significant questions under the tenure of every one of the six Presidents that I have had the honor and privilege of serving with in the service and the cause of the people of this great country. Now the other subject matter that I broached that last day. November 18. was an unbelievable incident where. in my own district. the local Federal district attorney had caused to be farmed out four jailed prisonersMexican illegals or undocumented workersto the border patrol agent. who then took them 90 miles from San Antonio. and leased them out to a rancher. meat packer. near the city of Uvalde. which is about 90 miles west of San Antonio. I recited the facts to the House. briefly stated. when 1 month later. these four individuals complained that they were being exploited and maltreated. they were immediately put back in jail. And what is grievously wrong and which makes us vulnerable before the bar of justice of the world.
