Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for his passion, for his advocacy, and for truly making sure that we set the record straight.

The gentleman from Texas has his heart in the right place. Actually, the gentlewoman who spoke earlier, she and I actually met the very first time, we came together--a liberal from the northeast, a conservative from the south--to actually address human trafficking together.

I think it is high time that in a bipartisan way we get together, work together on this supplemental, and let's do it tonight. Instead of having show votes, let's make sure that we provide the money that the President has requested to make sure that the humanitarian needs at the border are taken care of.

The gentleman from Maryland is exactly right, now is the time to act. Let's show the compassion with our vote.
