Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the gentlewoman from
Hawaii for yielding to me and for her leadership on this issue. I
served with her for 2 years on the Homeland Security Committee of the
House of Representatives and saw her ability to balance the national
interests and capitalizing and maximizing the opportunity that
immigrants provide and have always provided to the United States while
ensuring that we protect the homeland and our sacred commitment to
every person and family that we represent to make sure that they are
safe. I think that the community that I have the honor of representing in
Congress, El Paso, Texas, is a case in point. We are one of the safest
cities in the United States today.
