Speech #1090098624

We are now here debating a rule with only half the amendments to be allowed. but we have not even seen what the final version of the bill looks like. How can we be here debating amendments when we do not even know what we are amending? This feels like another Republican power grab. Mr. Speaker. we need to go slow and think this thing through. Let us take the bill back to the drawing board and pass a real border security bill that is fair and effective. not a partisan bill that almost no reasonable organization supports. And now. as we are about to return to our districts. let us think about the people that this bill will hurt. what kind of Christmas they will have.
