Speaker, I will speak after the gentleman
completes, but I would also just like to note that I agree with
everything that he has been talking about for the last 20 minutes. I
hope the American people start paying attention. The fact is, the two of us are in a very small cadre of patriots that
have been here in Washington for the last 20 years trying to stop this
massive flow of illegal immigrants into our country, realizing that
this doesn't only mean that people's wages would go down because we
have people bidding down the wages of our people, not only is the crime
in our area worse, not only is the money being drained from our health
systems and schools--money that should be going to our own citizens are
going to illegals--as we have always realized, with a flood of illegals
into our country, some of the people riding that wave of illegals are
terrorists who mean to destroy the American way of life and would kill
our people in order to terrorize our Nation into retreat from
involvement in the world. I have been very honored to stand with the gentleman from Texas in
these battles over these last 20 years. I would hope that the election
of President Donald Trump reflects the fact that the American people
are waking up to the significance of this issue. We see people on the Senate side shedding tears for a temporary halt
in immigration from areas where terrorism is known to exist and radical
Islamic terrorism exists there. But they are shedding tears that a
couple of hundred people, yes, were put in a bad situation. A couple of
other lives were disrupted.
