Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for drawing attention to that. The gentlewoman is exactly right, and some of the Border Patrol officials have said that they estimate that by rescinding title 42, that the number of illegal border…

Absolutely. And these are the results of policy choices, and they could easily be reversed if the White House would wake up and do something. So I thank the gentleman for bringing that to our attention tonight. Mr. Speaker, you have heard…

Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend; we always need a little moment of brevity, don't we? The news is so bad, but the gentleman pointed out and highlighted how difficult the times are, and that is a serious subject. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for that fight and that very worthwhile legislation, and we look forward to seeing that. The gentleman is right. The surge in crime is directly related to border in so many ways because we know dangerous…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman. So much of that is just common sense, and I appreciate him pointing it out. But sadly, unfortunately, this White House shows no intention whatsoever of reversing its policies and positions, which could…

By not doing it, as Mr. Schryver said, it results in higher prices, it results in funding authoritarian regimes?

But if we are just going to push solar and wind and what other pixie dust technology and we haven't thought through the supply chain...

Thank you for having this hearing. And this is another topic, Madam Chair, where you and I, I think, share a lot of objectives.

you seem to advocate a lot of policies that have been pushed by states like California, by European nations, where you have significantly higher energy costs.

we saw them have to get natural gas from Vladimir Putin to bring into New England.
