                      STOP OFFENDING BORDER PATROL

  (Mr. ROY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today troubled that one of my colleagues 
on the other side of the aisle compared the activities of the United 
States Government and Border Patrol on the southern border of the 
United States to concentration camps.
  For the life me, I cannot understand why we have allowed discourse to 
get to this place where the efforts by Border Patrol to secure our 
border, to house children, to house women, to house families, to deal 
with the fact that the cartels are attacking our border and profiting 
while doing it, and trying to care for these people while we are trying 
to enforce our laws, comparing that to the horrors of World War II, and 
saying that my friend Hector Garza is somehow the Gestapo today, and 
comparing what is happening at the border to concentration camps.
  I am really troubled and offended, and I think that the people of 
south Texas and Border Patrol are offended after what they are doing to 
try to defend the United States of America against cartels attacking 
the United States and profiting by moving people across the border.
