Mr. Speaker. new reports from the Department of Homeland Security show a surge in illegal immigration. 30 percent. actually. Last Friday I returned to McAllen. Texas. to tour the Rio Grande River by boat and see our security challenges firsthand. something President Obama has refused to do. Let me be clear. Our border is not secure. Obamas amnesty is devastating for Texas. particularly its border cities. but the problems far exceed our border. This affects the whole country. It undermines the safety of all Americans and hurts lawabiding taxpayers. My most sacred duty is to protect our homeland and every citizen in it.
