Speech #1130113047

I want to thank the men and women on the border that have defended our homeland. and I want to thank the border communities. the churches. and the nonprofits that have done so much to help these folks at the border. In fact. I want to thank the chairman for allowing a provision for the border communities to seek reimbursement for the allowable expenses under this bill. We cannot leave Washington today without putting the resources and the policy change to address the border crisis. We are sent here to address not the easy problems. but to address the hard problems.
