North Alabama Congressman Dale Strong, R-Monrovia, said in his first House floor speech that he would offer legislation calling for the resumption of building a Mexican border wall. Strong repeated throughout his speech that “America is under attack.”
Making his first floor speech Thursday on the House of Representatives, north Alabama Congressman Dale Strong said he would introduce legislation calling for the resumption of building a wall on the Mexican border.
“At the border, port of entry had to be delayed because a mule tried to smuggle 70 pounds of cocaine right in front of 12 United States Congressman,” Strong said. “The American people are being told by the Secretary of Homeland Security that our borders are secure. There is nothing further from the truth. While heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, marijuana and human smuggling are flowing into our country at alarming rates, America is under attack.
“If our border is secure, then why over the last two years has the administration continued to send troops to our border?” Strong said. “That alone signals to every American that we have a problem. Why are they stopping border wall construction, which is an important first step in securing our border? I will introduce legislation to address this question. My bill will resume border wall construction and ensure the president cannot withhold resources while sending our troops to the front line.
