The idea that we should not feed hungry
children unless their school work improves, frankly, I am baffled by
that, let me say it that way. The opposition to the wall is bipartisan. Republican Representative
Hurd from Texas, a former CIA officer, sits on the Homeland Security
Committee and represents the largest border district in the State of
Texas. He testified before the Rules Committee late Monday night
against it, saying, ``having a one-size-fits-all solution to border
security makes no sense.'' Yet this amendment was included without
debating the merits on the floor and without giving Members an up-or-
down vote. Let me explain that a little bit. This amendment is in the bill, but
there will be no vote on it.
