That constituent will be my constituent as long as i am in the congress of the United States of america. And that constituent is detained in syria. My hope is that well get our constituent back sooner rather than later, but it doesnt matter about the time. What matters is that im committed to stay with that constituent and make sure that believe r and father that were working with them to bring him home. So it is, mr. Speaker, with mr. Escobar. He is my constituent. He has been deported to san salvador have a door in el salvador.
