Speaker. I received several cases of bricks from an individual down in Texas. With the cases of bricks that he has sent me this letter. "I am sending you these bricks in support of an increase in the border security of the United States. These bricks should give you a start in building a wall. The American public demands some solutions to our open borders. A comprehensive border plan must include a security wall in some places. better technology. more funding of personnel for Border Patrol. and overall increased security presence on the southern border. When our borders are secure. then we can discuss the aspects of illegal immigration issues. We are tired of open borders. uncontrolled immigration. terrorist infiltration. criminal alien gangs. and all of the other horrors that arise due to our defenseless borders and unenforced immigration laws." Mr. Speaker. the voice of America continues to cry out for us to enforce the rule of law. protect the dignity and safety of the American people. Governments number one job is public safety. and public safety starts at the border.
