Mr. Speaker. where I realized maybe the awareness in this body is starting to change to understand the impact of a porous border and what it means to communities. When I had one of my friends here from the Midwest come up to me and ask me a number of questions because he had held a townhalland it was the first time he had had to face barrages of questions about immigration. about the unaccompanied minors. about the populations coming across the border. what were the potential threats. the disease. the drugsthen I realized maybe I have partially had a misunderstanding because. when I go home. the border is one of the key questions we talk about because of the effects it has had on my home State. in regards to education. incarceration. health care. and the amount of the burden that my citizens in Arizona. my taxpayers. have had to take on that ultimately were the responsibility of this Federal Government. I wanted to go through just a handful things. a couple of numbers that we have found. talk about some of the mechanics that may be coming at us tomorrow. I know many of us are going to have some different views on legislation. where it takes us. but I want to get some of the record straight here.
