BORDER SECURITY
(Mr. HARRIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
[[Page H2221]]
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HARRIS. Madam Speaker, it is a shame that the new House majority,
instead of fully funding border security, a few minutes ago actually
passed H.J. Res. 46, which would reverse the President's emergency
declaration that he signed 2 weeks ago that secures our border.
Now, in Maryland, we have a real problem. We are the second most
active State for MS-13, which just walks across our border now because
we don't have barriers. We have a huge problem, like every State in the
Union, with drugs, with opioids that are just walked across our border,
which isn't secured. And, Madam Speaker, we have a huge problem with
human trafficking.
If this resolution is passed by the Senate, I hope that the President
vetoes the resolution, we sustain that veto, and we finally secure our
border.
