Thank you so much for creating employment opportunities for so many Minnesotans and for being a shining example for what immigrants can do in this country.

Immigrants have paid $760 million in taxes last year. We contributed $2 billion in spending power.

Shortages of Foreign Service Officers and Specialists overseas is having a profound impact on our national security.

It is surely time that we do so.

Mr. President, I appreciate the work my colleague has done with me and others on this issue, but I do want to point out a few things. No. 1, I agree that this should not be a partisan issue, and, in fact, our bill was as bipartisan as it…

Madam President, I share our leader's outrage over what is going on right now at the border over these private facilities where these children are being housed and about the lack of an ability to bring amendments on the National Defense…

Today is the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling.

One of the things the Supreme Court relied upon in their ruling was this waiver process that had been set up by the State Department to grant waivers of people who were subjected to the ban.

Thank you to all of you for testifying.

We say in Minnesota, it is a cold place, but the people have warm hearts.

So to the four witnesses, this is a map of Minnesota that says that a great part of Minnesota is covered. This map to me is not accurate.

I hope we do everything to make sure that they do not get a dictator for another 30 years.

For many of us religious freedom is extremely important. It is life and death in this country.

So if you have Members of Congress that are legislating laws in accordance with their faith in regards to abortion or LGBTQ or women or any of those things, that should be prohibited within our Constitution?

So let's see, religious liberty would be like, almost then a person like myself having the ability to wear my head scarf in order to serve my constituents in Congress?

Would religious liberty be in allowing certain people to access service, like buying a cake from a cake shop?

Yes. Religious liberty would be almost then a person being allowed to grow their beard because that is consistent with their faith?

we do not have an ambassador representing our country right now.
