I am curious about the announcement that the administration is in support of this and is working toward this, because they have already issued an announcement that they oppose this piece of legislation. So, if it did pass, it would be…

Here we have another bill that demonstrates just how disingenuous Democrats are about securing our borders and fixing our broken immigration system. But in a new twist, today's bill shockingly prioritizes illegal immigrants over…

Today, I rise to honor the remarkable life and legacy of Mrs. Juanita Abernathy, a selfless leader in the struggle for civil rights whose direction and tireless engagement was an integral part in the movement of civil rights and voting…

There is always going to be frustration with regulations... This really has been for 2-1/2 years been a mess.

This is a sobering moment in our Nation's history, when the rule of law and constitutional duty requires Congress to move swiftly to protect our national security and the integrity of our democracy. In my time on the House Permanent Select…

I find it amazing that the majority, the Democrat majority, would like to see us prioritize establishing electronic medical records for illegal immigrants when we still haven't been able to provide that for veterans in our country or our…

I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, this bill demonstrates just how disingenuous Democrats are about securing our borders and fixing our broken…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 230, nays 194, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No. 546]…

We have to tell our story. No one else will.

I believe that any type of proposals to reform or eliminate programs that have U.S. commodities and cargo preferences be eliminated are ill-advised.

I would really hate to see those completely eliminated because, when we go back home as Members of Congress and we explain that we are trying to help people--and I think most Americans around the world want to try to be helpful, to feed…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise this afternoon in support of this continuing resolution. Having to pass a continuing resolution is never an ideal situation, as I think most Members of this body know. However, I…

Russia and China are making significant investments in the Arctic. To them, the Arctic is a new battlefield where they are seeking every advantage over the United States.

These heavy icebreakers are long overdue, and, once delivered, will greatly improve the Coast Guard's capabilities and presence in the region.

Lack of adherence to the terms of the budget deal also explains why we are unable to mark up the other two bills in this package: Labor, HHS, and Education and State-Foreign Operations. Just like the Defense and Energy and Water bills…

It is critical that we recognize the growing strategic importance of the Arctic to U.S. interests.

The United States must not be caught flat-footed. To defend our National security, homeland security, and sovereignty, we must make needed investments in Arctic infrastructure.
