If we are going to continue towards the path of sustainability as a nation, we must act boldly.

We must invest in electrified high-speed rail.

Finally, as I said, I think the challenges we face are, one, to reach a bipartisan agreement on what we define as infrastructure.

We must act boldly.

For the past few years, we have heard the term 'infrastructure week' time after time, but no action.

The challenge that we have--and I challenge our Republican colleagues and friends--is to show that we can work together to invest in America.

This Congress, we have a unique opportunity to pass the long-awaited infrastructure package that our constituents have been repeatedly promised.

I strongly urge you to consider funding for resilience projects like the LOSSAN Corridor relocation in the infrastructure package.

Your leadership and the members of this committee are going to be critical if we are successful this year in investing in America's infrastructure.

I hope I don't hear from Texas anymore telling us how great they are with everything, when they couldn't keep the electricity on.

I, too, lived in El Salvador for a while. I was a Jesuit at the time studying to be a priest.

This is the community that is highly at risk, and so this is why we dedicate significant resources to attending to their humanitarian needs.

We have had this in our history. I can tell you along--I have lived most of my life along the border in California and Mexico.

The notion that we have open borders is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

I certainly think that China poses the greatest threat for the United States going forward.

Our men and women are wearing the military uniform, are losing their lives on behalf of this nation, yet when they come home they have no say in our democracy.

Let's hold it for a vote once again. We just held a vote. Let's have another one once Congress offers equality--statehood--to the American citizens of Puerto Rico.

the Republicans seemed to forget that when they were in charge. They ran up this huge deficit, a huge debt, during the good times.
