Madam Speaker, I thank the majority leader for that
answer. Given the fact that, as the gentleman has pointed out, this was made
a major issue by the administration during the campaign, in light of
the fact that there are many members of his own administration who
believe the wall will not work and is not the most effective way to do
what all of us agree ought to be done, and that is to keep our border
secure and to make sure that we know who is coming into the United
States of America--I think that is a unanimous position, frankly, of
the Members of this House. This border wall, as I understand it, is in none of the four bills
that have been marked up by the committee. Therefore, my presumption is
the Rules Committee is, in some fashion, going to add this. If they add
it, frankly, to the rule and that it is adopted as a result of the
adoption of the rule, that will preclude a vote on the wall.
