CONGRESSMAN FILEMON VELA MOVIE
In fact, when awarding the honor to Benavides, President Reagan, turned to the media and said, “if the story of his heroism were a movie script, you would not believe it.” In 1981, President Reagan presented Master Sergeant Roy Benavides with the Medal of Honor for fighting in what has been described as “6 hours in hell.” In Vietnam, Sergeant Benavides suffered 37 separate bullet, bayonet and shrapnel wounds to his face, leg, head and stomach while saving the lives of eight men. Kristofferson recalls the 1945 parade honoring Sergeant Lopez as an event he will never forget. If you ever run into Kris Kristofferson, ask him about Jose Lopez because as a young man Mr. Lopez was awarded the United States’ highest military decoration for valor in combat – the Medal of Honor – for his heroic actions during the Battle of the Bulge, in which he single handedly repulsed a German infantry attack, killing at least 100 enemy troops. Master Sergeant Jose Lopez, from my own hometown of Brownsville, Texas, fought in World War II. While too numerous to list, let me educate you about a few of these brave Medal of Honor recipients: I should also point out that thousands of Americans of Mexican descent that you mistakenly refer to as “Mexicans” have valiantly served the United States in every conflict since the Civil War. Why any modern-thinking person would ever believe that building a wall along the border of a neighboring country, which is both our ally and one of our largest trading partners, is frankly astounding and asinine. Gorbachev, tear down this wall … ” while urging the Soviet Union to destroy the barrier that divided West and East Berlin. The Great Wall of China is historically obsolete, and President Ronald Reagan famously declared, “Mr. imported $296 billion in goods from Mexico while exporting $235 billion in products manufactured in this country to Mexico. Chamber of Commerce has documented that this trade relationship is responsible for six million jobs in the United States. No doubt Mexico has its problems, but it is also our third-largest trading partner. While you would build more and bigger walls on the U.S.-Mexico border, I would tear the existing wall to pieces. Chamber of Commerce agrees that these workers deserve a national immigration policy that would give them a pathway to citizenship. That is precisely why the Republican-leaning U.S. Thousands of our businesses would come to a grinding halt if we invoked a policy that would require “mass deportation” as you and many of your supporters would suggest. If I had to guess, your own business enterprises either directly or indirectly employ more of these workers than most other businesses in our country. The vast number of these individuals work in hotels, restaurants, construction sites, and agricultural fields across the United States. Your position with respect to the millions of undocumented Mexican workers who now live in this country is hateful, dehumanizing, and frankly shameful. However, your ignorant anti-immigrant opinions, your border wall rhetoric, and your recent bigoted attack on an American jurist are just plain despicable. There might even be a few other things on which we can agree. And clearly, criminal felons who are here illegally should be immediately deported. I also believe that the Mexican government and our own State Department must be much more aggressive in addressing cartel violence and corruption in Mexico, especially in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas. I agree that the United States Government has largely failed our veterans, and those of us who represent the people in Congress have the obligation to rectify the Veterans Administration’s deficiencies.
