President Takes New Direction

Speech delivered by Chairman Lamar Smith on the House floor on September 26, 2017

The President is doing what he was elected to do – call it shaking up the system, putting a break on the bureaucracy, or creative deconstruction.

Our country simply cannot continue on the same course:

- Where the government increases the debt by hundreds of billions of dollars every year,

- Where hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants cross our border annually, insulting those who play by the rules and wait their turn in line,

- Where political correctness limits freedom of speech, especially for conservatives.

The liberal media are trying to shut down this presidency because they oppose everything President Trump is trying to do.

In this great conflict, the American people and our democracy could be the casualties.
