Some are coming here because they are bringing violence and pushing drugs to our children and grandchildren. And. unfortunately. there may be a few who are coming here to try to bring down our airlines. Again. we ignore border security at our own peril. Yet Democrats are holding our border security hostage for their views on amnesty. their views on giving government benefits and welfare to those who are here illegally. Mr. Speaker. this is unacceptable. Now. this bill will help. help eliminate the catch and release program. At least in my part of Texas when constituents hear "catch and release." they think it has something to do with bass. They have no idea that we have been apprehending illegal immigrants and letting them back on this side of the border. That is unacceptable. And contrary to what some of our friends have said on the other side of the aisle. this does not mandate that local law enforcement get involved in this battle. but it helps empower them.
