                             WAR IN UKRAINE

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, in a building that conspicuously 
marked its exterior with the word ``children,'' the brutal Putin bombed 
without stopping this safe house in Mariupol. Obviously, it was 
completely destroyed. There were 300 people dead and little children 
sitting around the dead bodies of their parents.
  The whole city has been leveled. The whole country has been attacked 
by a brutal dictator. Of course, we know the peace talks are going on, 
I encourage that. As well, I believe that the allies should continue to 
give weapons and there should be some process for giving them fighter 
jets.
  Madam Speaker, I want to thank the Secretary of Homeland Security for 
recognizing that we will have to receive Ukrainian refugees, Haitian 
refugees, and, yes, refugees from the border. We are, in fact, a humane 
country. We have the ability to be able to assure the world that we 
will be a refuge and, as well, protect the American people.
  That is what we do: we protect the American people, provide them 
jobs, give them safety, but, as well, we are a refuge for the world.
  Madam Speaker, I thank the Secretary for his work. Let's let Ukraine 
win this, either in peace or in war.
