Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, on Friday we are voting on a crucial funding
program for armed services. Yet somehow it also includes $1.6 billion
to begin funding the construction of an unnecessary border wall. Without discussion, the funding for the border wall was added. This wall won't make us safer, and it won't stop drug smugglers, and
it will not keep out the bad hombres. If we are serious about protecting our borders, then let's invest the
$1.6 billion in programs that have a proven record of success. Let's
invest in drug detection canine teams. Let's rebuild our Coast Guard.
Identified stereotypes
Referring to undocumented immigrants as 'bad hombres' is a generalization.
