              AMERICANS DESERVE TRANSPARENCY AND OVERSIGHT

  (Mrs. GREENE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. GREENE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, since 9/11 over 13.5 million 
border encounters have occurred at our border. Over 1 million Americans 
have died from drug overdoses, and CNN reports that the cartels take in 
$19 to $29 billion annually from drug sales to the United States of 
America.
  Since 9/11 the United States has spent $8 trillion on foreign wars, 
and over 7,000 U.S. servicemembers have died defending foreign lands 
and foreign borders.
  Now we have sent over $50 billion to Ukraine, and President Biden 
wants another $37 billion to Ukraine. This will be pushing it to over 
$90 billion.
  Yesterday Democrats voted ``no'' on my House resolution to audit 
Ukraine. The American people deserve transparency and oversight on 
where their money is going.
  I also want to point out that America deserves our borders to be 
defended so that if we are going to support any war, we should support 
a war on the cartels that are killing Americans and invading our 
country.
