00:00One minute to the gentleman from Florida, Mr. Fine.

00:03Gentleman from Florida is recognized for one minute.

00:07Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

00:08As I sat here and listened to that panoply of speeches or motions over the last few seconds,

00:14I was reminded of the fact that when we say there should be no cuts to Medicaid,

00:19we are saying there should be no cuts to illegal immigrants that are getting Medicaid.

00:23Now, we live in a world where we spend more money than we bring in,

00:27and it is not fair to actual Americans to be forced to take on additional debt

00:33to give benefits to people who are not in this country legally.

00:38And I would note that neither that the Democrats have not proposed a solution

00:42that would allow us to continue to give benefits to people who shouldn't be here anyway

00:47and pay for them without our children going into future debt.

00:51We must keep that in mind.

00:52We are here to fight for Americans, and that is what this bill does.

00:57Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
