CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST
(Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CLINE. Madam Speaker, I had planned today to congratulate a
poultry judging team in my district, but I need to address what
happened at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Triangle, Virginia, because
what happened there are the chickens coming home to roost from the
broken Biden border policy.
Madam Speaker, on May 3, 2024, two Jordanian foreign nationals that
entered the United States unlawfully attempted to breach the Quantico
Marine Corps Base in Triangle, Virginia. Press reports indicate that
they were in a van posing as delivery men and tried to ram their way
through.
I am quoting from a letter that our Governor has sent to the
President because he has not received a briefing on what happened in
the Commonwealth of Virginia. The American people didn't learn about
what happened at Quantico for 2 weeks.
During that time, we don't know who else had entered this country
illegally or what else their designs were, but it is proven that the
broken Biden border policy is having an effect on the national security
of this country.
The President needs to take action now, or Congress and the Senate
need to take action on H.R. 2.
