Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding me the time.

Madam Speaker, this bill does many things, but the one thing that it does not do is heal the wound in the soul of America. It does not provide a pathway for these babies to return home to their parents.

This bill is about as bad as it can get if you care about what you see in this picture. Children should not become the tools of the trade for politicians.

This bill will legitimize children as the tools of the trade. We cannot pass it. We should not pass it. We must rethink what we are doing to this country.
