The City of Houston is on record. the chief of police is on record. and the record is that our officers are there to do the work of the local government. They are not there to do the work of the Federal Government. I would wish my good friend and colleague would add and join us in reinvesting into border patrol agents and ICE agents. And. by the way. any suggestion that they are not cooperating. I met with the police chief. There is no indication whatsoever in Houston that they are not cooperating with the local law enforcement and ICE. What you do with this. and I hope my colleagues are listening. I know this sounds like Lets Bash an Immigrant Day. But what you will be doing is you will be cutting off funds from your local jurisdictions. They need to make their own decisions without the punitive measures of this Federal Government. particularly when we have fallen down on the job and not provided the kind of funding that we need for internal enforcement and for law enforcement and for border patrol agents. So I would hope this distinguished gentleman would understand that you are putting an unfunded mandate on your own city and many other municipalities across America.
