Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his remarks. I appreciate his very prescient comments. Before I get on too much more, I have a bill that pulls us out of the World Health Organization. I would encourage all of my colleagues to sign…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Johnson). We appreciate him. I played with him on the baseball team. He was the catcher, and we will miss his catching abilities. God bless him in his future endeavors. Mr. Speaker, I yield…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the legacy of Paul Kerchum. At the time of his death, Mr. Kerchum was one of the last survivors of the Bataan Death March. Paul enlisted in the military in 1938, beginning a 29-year military career…

Mr. Speaker, I get a kick out of listening to the gentleman from New York who doesn't know a darn thing about the border crisis and gets to stand up and say: Oh, by golly, 90 percent of the fentanyl they are catching right there is in the…

These aren't just sanctions on Cubans, they are sanctions on Americans.

However, DOI has abused their excessive telework and remote work policies for employees at a time when even President Joe Biden is calling for a return to the office.

Despite their unwillingness to generally speak to the telework policies of the Biden administration, I must say I am not surprised.

Well, so the question is really then are you content with approximately 5 million more people illegally entering the country over the next 12 months or are you going to try to do something about it? Because 302,000 plus at least--they…

You are being asked to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security today with no policy changes even. That is what you are being asked. But more than that, you are being asked to continue all the other programs, the crazy subsidies for…

The breaking news is this: That park area has now been-- today, Governor Abbott of Texas, because he feels so overrun, has declared a state of emergency, and that property has been taken over by the State of Texas. They will arrest anybody…

Can I interject something? We have been talking about Eagle Pass, and I have a bit of breaking news for you. Those who were with me, we actually drove through the golf course to get to a couple of our points.

I will tell you this: There may be three people over here I can name. I won't name them to protect them because they always talk like they are going to help us out, but they don't ever help us out. I love them to death, but they never…

Because they can't get there. You know what? My colleagues on the Democrat side, they will tell you that there is no problem down on the border because they really don't think there is. I think this is an existential crisis.

Yes, I will speak to that for just a second. A couple weeks ago now, I took a group of people to Lukeville, Arizona. Now, Lukeville is an incredibly remote port of entry, 35 people or so live by there. You come through Ajo, if you are…

No. Let's pick up with Mayor Adams of New York. Here is a guy who presides over a sanctuary city--that is awesome, that is awesome--but he doesn't want to experience what is a daily occurrence along the border, for those who live in a…

Right. Right. I will tell you why in a second. That night it was cold, really cold, unseasonably cold in south Texas. It was raining cats and dogs. We are in the van, and they are taking us down there. I have been down there many times. We…

The record number for apprehensions was 302,000 plus-- 302,000 people. That would have put it clearly within the top 20 largest cities in this country, when you think about that.
