Americans are growing frustrated. A recent Los Angeles Times poll placed Congress approval ratings at the lowest point they have been in a decade. 27 percent down from 36 percent in January. And based on the many calls that my office receives every day. that frustration is largely embodied in the immigration issue. Specifically. for the last 2 weeks. I have received numerous calls from my constituents asking where is the border fence. Well. Mr. Speaker. thats a good question. Where is the border fence? Last night and early this morning. while this Chamber was debating a Homeland Security funding bill. that contains no funding specifically for fencing. hundreds of people were able to make their way across the border or were trafficked into America. And while we would like to believe that every single person made their way in order to seek out a better life for themselves or their family. we know that is not always the case.
