                    SUPPORTING OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE

  (Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of 
American tradition and heritage, American law enforcement, and the 
sovereignty of our Nation.
  I stand here in the Chamber of the people's House, a 57-year-old 
American man who has never witnessed such division and insanity as I 
have observed here in D.C., where right is wrong, where American 
traditions are rejected, where Christian principles are ridiculed, 
where many of my colleagues across the aisle envision an America with 
no sovereign borders, no fossil fuels, and no Second Amendment, a land 
where no airplanes fly, where police cannot arrest, and where jails do 
not exist.
  I remind my colleagues that we are here to serve the best interests 
and security of the American people. We were not elected by citizens of 
foreign soil, nor should we allow our bicameral, bipartisan Congress to 
become infected with anti-American sentiment.
