we've had ever in the history of this country, and that's because of the actions of this president,

who delivered on his promise to secure the border and enforce our laws. But if Congress fails to act,

this success will be short-lived. I'm proud of the Committee on Homeland Security's work to

This bill embraces three fundamental principles of our party.

That's why I think it's really important that Republicans lean in and go tell the American people how important this legislation is,
