DEFENDING AMERICA'S BORDERS
(Mrs. GREENE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. GREENE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, we have watched tens of
billions of dollars be sent to defend another nation's border that is
not our own.
Every single day, our border is invaded by people from foreign lands
and also by drugs. Over 300 people are dying every single day.
Americans are dying every single day from fentanyl poisoning.
Yet, the Biden administration and this Congress have not done
anything to protect our Nation's border and the American people.
Just to remind everyone, the building that we are standing in, the
Federal Government and everyone's paychecks here are paid by the
American taxpayers. The American taxpayers and the American people
deserve to have a secure border and deserve the protection of the
Federal Government from the Mexican cartels that funnel drugs into
America to kill Americans.
I am calling for an audit of every single penny that has been sent to
Ukraine, including aid money and any other moneys that have been given
to the Ukrainian Government to defend their national security while our
national security has been ignored.
This must be done. It has to be done as soon as possible for the
American people. They deserve transparency, and they deserve to see
where their money is going.
