Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I want to thank our ranking
member for yielding to me. I rise in opposition to funding for President Trump's border wall. I
have visited the border of Texas and Mexico many times. Communities all
along and beyond the border in my home State of Texas are opposed to
this border wall. Texas has deep and historic ties with our neighbor to the south,
Mexico. The people of Texas and Mexico share a pride. A clear majority
of our communities believe that the close ties between Texas and
Mexico--cultural, economic, linguistic--benefit both Texas and Mexico.
