End the Border Catastrophe Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, duplicity. This is a lie. It is a deceit. It is trickery. It is chicanery. It is a fraud. It is a swindle. It is a scam.

By design, Mr. Speaker, this is a pig in a poke. You don't even get the pig, though. You just get the bag.

We told everybody that we are going to do border security and attach it to this bill, that this is all going to go to the Senate, and then the President is going to sign it. That is not going to happen.

Border security is not in here. This is a separate bill designed to fail.

You are getting a box sent to you in the mail that says, ``border security.'' If you are Laken Riley's parents, if you are Kate Steinle's parents, you are getting a box that says, ``border security.'' You open it up, and there is nothing in it.

You are supposed to believe that we are doing something here, Mr. Speaker, but in reality, we are just tricking you and swindling the American people again. This is an abomination.

Mr. Speaker, I am going to vote for the bill, but I want everybody to know it is a sham.
