Mr. Speaker. as the sun sets on the 109th Congress today. the sun is also setting in the Southwest at a border unguarded from illegal entry. open for settlement and Incursion. Our government has voiced empty words of border security and protecting our Nation from foreign invasion. Much like the Empire of Rome in 364 A.D.. when the Goths encroached into Roman lands. there were not enough border security agents to keep them out. They were not required to assimilate into the Roman culture. The Romans did nothing. Blind to Goth occupation. Rome created its own downfall and disappearance as a Nation.
