Speaker. as chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security and as a native Texan. I am uniquely familiar with our southern border. I am also uniquely familiar with the national security crisis and law enforcement nightmare erupting on that border. primarily in my State of Texas. Mr. Speaker. as I have often said. and said yesterday. lawlessness breeds lawlessness. The crisis unfolding on our border is in very large part a result of the Presidents political decision to not enforce the immigration laws of this Nation. The House intends to correct that tonight. In many ways this bill is similar to the legislation the House considered yesterday. but it has some important improvements.
