Mr. Speaker. the Republican majority in this House continues to approach border security and immigration control in its usual ineffective and piecemeal approach. putting electionyear politics ahead of real and responsible solutions. Republicans are big talkers when it comes to border security and Immigration reform. but they have never been willing to put their money where their mouth is. The bills we will consider on the House floor today are more of the same. This debate and these bills are supposed to remind voters that Republicans are somehow tough on immigration. but instead they just remind all of us that Republicans have not been able to make any progress on the urgent issue of border security. So I urge all Members of this body to vote "no" on the previous question so that we can bring up this amendment to actually do something about the problems on our Nations borders instead of just talking about it. The 9/11 Commission has given this Congress Ds and Fs when it comes to homeland security. and we have a particularly low grade when it comes to protecting our borders.
