What is your best guess on the percentage of UACs that are placed in homes where they are not legally present in the United States?

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that all votes after the first in this series be 10 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.

Well, thank you. That is because you cosponsored my aviation bill.

I have two unanimous consent requests to get into the record.

The problem that we had in the 8 years of the Obama administration was the use of regulations to punish industries and States.
