                   OUR JOB IS TO DO THE PEOPLE'S WORK

  (Mr. FULCHER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, in the last few days, we spent a lot of 
time in session in the U.S. Congress reviewing and debating tweets and 
personal comments of individuals. In the meantime, policy debate and 
the urgent work of the people are excluded from the agenda.
  As I speak, among other things, we are apprehending some 3,000 
immigrants per day on our southern border, we will lose around 130 
people today due to the opioid crisis, and our national debt will 
increase another $3 billion or so in just the next 24 hours.
  It is clear that the majority leadership does not want to have policy 
initiatives that are desired by our current administration to even get 
a debate, but, Mr. Speaker, we have an election process to deal with 
those concerns.
  It is our job to do the people's work. Please, let's go to work.
