Mr. Speaker, I join with my colleague from Illinois
and demand that the Children's Health Insurance Program that will help
millions of children have healthcare be reauthorized now, and certainly
it should be done before we leave for the work recess. I also want to hold up the headline of the Houston Chronicle that
says: ``Trump Ramps Up Demands for New DACA Deal.''
Sometimes we think that these are just statements that don't impact
people's lives. The name of the young lady on this front page is Karen,
who watches her parents work 17 hours a day, trying to ensure that the
children who came here through no fault of their own can be
contributing Americans. We stood together yesterday with 122,000 in the State of Texas. We
thought we had a reasonable deal to be able to work together to help
these young people. But with the ridiculous demands that have been made
by this administration--$15 billion border wall, cutting legal
immigration, sending out the door unaccompanied children--it is
absolutely ludicrous. Does anyone care about human life. Then we stood together with the chief of police, the sheriff, the
constables, and Moms Demand Action and fought against ridiculous
nonregulation of guns that can kill people, military guns.
