BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of House Republicans' plan to cut spending to keep government open and to shut down the border. The President has failed Americans. He has failed Texans. He has failed us by not securing our border.

Mr. Speaker, 7\1/2\ million illegal immigrants, 150 people just this year who matched the terror watch list, 13,000 criminals, 100,000-plus fentanyl poisoning deaths is unacceptable. Enough is enough.

This plan, which would also include H.R. 2, the most secure border act in decades, puts the President on notice.

Now is the time.

This is the most important border security vote in 20 years. This vote right here not only cuts spending, but it shuts down the border and the disaster, the chaos, and the unacceptable level of death that our President has caused.

This bill deserves our attention. I urge my colleagues to cut the spending, to keep the government open, and to shut down the border.
