WHERE IS THE HEART IN THIS ADMINISTRATION
(Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I will be returning to the House
Judiciary Committee. We have been there for more than 8 hours, maybe 11
hours, with Peter Strzok, an FBI agent who has been vindicated by the
inspector general regarding the Hillary Clinton emails, which were
found to have no effect on any violation or any criminal violation, but
yet Republicans have continued over and over again to hold these
hearings without addressing the question of jailed children snatched
from their families.
Today, we understand that Health and Human Services is holding back
the reunification of some of these babies under 5 to their moms and
their dads on the basis of unrelatable or unnecessary predicaments of
these parents, where they have been incarcerated for misdemeanors
regarding immigration.
This is the administration that really has no caring and no love for
people.
Finally, Mr. Speaker, the World Health Organization had the
delegation from this Nation, not representing me, fight a country that
was trying to support breastfeeding, and they wanted to condemn Ecuador
for a resolution supporting breastfeeding for mothers around the world.
What are we coming to? Where is the heart in this administration?
