Speaker. this port bill has become just another act in the play the House Republicans have billed as "homeland security" month. They could have offered America a star performance. and instead. Mr. Speaker. they delivered mediocrity. Let me serve as a narrator of this story for a few moments: Act one. protecting ponies. The week before the fifth anniversary of 9/11. the House leadership was more concerned about protecting horses than protecting our ports. Act two. border security. Thinking good fences make good neighbors. they squandered the little time we had left in this session to revote a fence bill. As the Senate passes the fence bill tonight.
