mr. johnson: the guy that i was talking -- mentor? mr. johnson: the guy i was talking to right before we went on camera, senator john thune. this is a guy who is also collaborative and does his homework and cannot be outworked. so we're very different. there are parts of our style that can be very different. and so i've always tried to take a little bit from different leaders. i've learned from congresswoman noem who is going to be one of those great innovative governors we hope to return power to over the next few weers. senator roubleds, governor dugard. these have been people who at every possible opportunity have given me a word of encouragement, given me a word of advice. it is sometimes said in south dakota republican circles, because we have so many republicans, that republican lo leaders like to eat their young. that has never been my experience. if anything, i found that they are welcoming to people who want to step up and help share the burden. reporter: you spent time in the governor's office. can you talk about that? mr. johnso

( laughter ) and these aren't votes just "out of nowhere," they're absentee ballots. in fact: florida accepts overseas and military ballots through november 16, meaning that trump's plan would disenfranchise military service members and americans abroad. you're not supposed to celebrate veterans day by taking away their right to vote.

mr. johnson: i thank the gentlewoman from missouri. mr. speaker, she's given us this opportunity tonight to speak on the growing crisis at our southern border. it is a critical issue that our friends on the other side of the aisle are simply failing to address. over the course of this government shutdown, many have sought to dismiss the very real challenges that we're facing regarding human trafficking and sexual assault and drug smuggling that clearly are occurring. thousands of people are making the dangerous journey to and across our southern border and this has been the result. what these same opponents fail to mention is the perverse incentives that exist for these crimes. for example, our lax immigration laws have encouraged illegal immigration. for example, the dramatic increase in unaccompanied minors and supposed family units at the border are a direct result of our catch and release policies. the president made his case to the american people just a few nights ago and he addressed the urgent need for border security. and he is pr
