AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE ASKED FOR SOLUTIONS
(Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LANDSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the bipartisan
Senate bill that would strengthen our national security, secure our
borders, and support allies across the globe.
The American people have asked us for solutions, and this bill is
packed with solutions, solutions to address the border and the fentanyl
crisis. I was at one of the busiest border crossings on Friday, and
this bill gives those folks the staff and the reforms that they need
and the administration and the authority they need to close the border
when it is overwhelmed.
The bill also provides solutions to support our allies, to stop Putin
from pulling the world into a much larger, deadlier war in Eastern
Europe, to provide funds to Israel and vital humanitarian aid to Gaza.
We must end this war, and we need the assurance of stability and
prosperity for Israel and Gaza.
I believe there is bipartisan majorities in both Chambers for these
solutions if leadership gets behind them. The American people want
this. The Speaker works for us, not Donald Trump. Bring us this bill.
