GARCIA will offer a bipartisan bill that will do just that. Instead of even allowing amendments on these controversial bills. including amendments that are extremely commonsense. we have a closed process that. as Mr. VAN HOLLEN pointed out. changes the very rules of the House. in the name of preventing the President from focusing on deporting criminal aliens. Look. Republicans and Democrats alike acknowledge that there is a crisis on our southern border. Unaccompanied minors are fleeing from El Salvador. Honduras. and Guatemala. fleeing horrific situations. I had the opportunity to visit the border the weekend before last. along with many of my colleagues. and got to speak to some of the kids. as well as the Customs and Border Patrol and HHS officials. and hear some of those stories firsthand. We had this discussion yesterday in Rules Committee. Action means a bill passing the House. a bill passing the Senate. and the President signing it.
