                      GOD BLESS U.S. BORDER PATROL

  (Ms. HERRELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. HERRELL. Mr. Speaker, today I am proud to rise in support of the 
brave men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol. I believe our agents 
need to know how grateful we are for their service to the United States 
of America.
  No doubt they have rewarding careers, but these days it has become a 
thankless job. Sadly, the media often ignores the role our agents play 
in humanitarian efforts along our borders. They save lives and rescue 
women and children who are being trafficked and abused.
  U.S. Border Patrol agents are some of the most amazing people I have 
ever met. Every day they risk their lives during confrontations with 
cartels, coyotes, drug runners, and criminal gangs, all to keep you and 
me and the sovereignty of our Nation safe.
  It is time we stand in support of these fine men and women, encourage 
them with prayer, and support them with policies and procedures they 
need to keep America safe.
  God bless each one of our U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents.
