This amendment seeks to strike several provisions that are crucial to ending the open border crisis that this administration has created. While I have heard it just portrayed as somehow being cruel and being done by names that are called…

It is with the utmost respect I speak to my colleague. We have had lengthy debates about this in full committee. I understand and appreciate the desire that he has to defund or at least severely reduce the budget of this agency. However…

I appreciate the concerns of the gentleman from Montana, but I maintain that I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the…

This bipartisan en bloc amendment before you is comprised of 23 amendments offered by my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. This en bloc contains proposals that would strengthen the underlying bill, and I want to highlight just a few…

The amendment before you seeks to strike a provision in the bill that requires the prioritization of detention and appropriate GPS monitoring technology for aliens going through immigration proceedings. As we continue to see record levels…

The amendment offered by the gentleman from California is well-meaning, but ultimately misguided. We are averaging nearly 10,000 encounters at the southern border on a daily basis, near record levels. My bill addresses the challenge by…

I don't want to make any arguments other than to say that I urge a ``no'' vote on this, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Biggs). The…

Might I ask for an additional 10 seconds. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.

We set out to make precise and calculated cuts in this bill due to CISA's rapid growth over the last few years. The top line serves effectively as a strategic pause and significant budget growth. It is $19 million above the fiscal 2023…

I thought we were here to talk about the Homeland Security appropriations bill, and I look forward to having further discussion and reviewing these amendments. I yield back the balance of my time. The CHAIR. All time for general debate has…

Our country has no greater responsibility than to protect and defend this Nation and its Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and I thank Ranking Member McCollum for yielding me time to speak as a member of the Subcommittee…

I understand and join in the outrage shared by my colleagues over the CISA mis-, dis-, and malinformation scandal. No administration and no government should ever be in the business of labeling or attempting to convince social media…

Texans have every right to defend and secure their borders, particularly during a time when the White House has abandoned attempts to secure the border and enforce our immigration laws. Due to the Biden administration's failed policy…

sometimes we come to the floor in maybe a less serious vein. We are all incredulous that while we do our work here and keep the government open, the people down the hall there are playing political games and threatening a shutdown. And…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Montana will be postponed. Amendment No. 75 Offered by Mr. Roy The Acting CHAIR. It is now…
