Dangerous drugs like fentanyl are killing thousands of Americans each year, and we have to reject the partisan echo chamber and work together to make meaningful, lasting changes.

I support the BENES 2.0 Act (S. 1687) introduced by Senators Casey and Young to provide crucial education and outreach to Americans as they approach Medicare eligibility.

I appreciate that the supplemental request includes $1.55 billion to provide treatment, harm reduction, and recovery support services for people struggling with addiction.

the sentiment created on campus by professors and students alike of pervasive and just widespread anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric has created such an atmosphere that has enabled him to make these comments.

I would encourage the Department of Homeland Security and the administration to also recognize what I think is fairly obvious, which is that policy must be changed in order for us to get control of the situation on the border.

As the designee of the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Buck), I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title)…

As a traditional courtesy, I am offering this for Mr. Buck, who has been very kind to us. This is an amendment I think we have all seen versions of. It is structurally very simple. It moves the appropriation amount back to the 2019 fiscal…

I actually give the ranking member kudos for being intellectually honest. That is actually part of my point. The numbers now are brutally uglier than even Simpson-Bowles. It is one of the things we don't like to say because it doesn't look…

The southwest border is in crisis, Arizona continues to bear the brunt of the Federal Government's failures on the border, and the situation is only getting worse.

The current levels of migration are unprecedented, unsustainable. We have got to send a clear message to potential migrants that we will be fair and humane, but that we will secure our border and enforce our laws.

So now is not the time for partisan rhetoric. Our system is not working.

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Arizona has 2 minutes remaining.

This is unacceptable. Congress appropriated this funding to support local communities like Tucson and to prevent street releases, which harm communities and migrants.
