Madam Chair, my amendment would prevent State and local governments who refuse to cooperate with Federal immigration authorities from being able to obtain Federal funds under this Act. These so-called sanctuary city policies are nothing…

Mr. Chair, my amendment would prohibit the Department of Defense from creating, procuring, or displaying any map which depicts Taiwan as part of the territory of the People's Republic of China. This should not be a problem since all of us…

Mr. Chair, America has always done best in regard to foreign policy when we are strong and resolute. This is anything but strong and resolute. Let me read to you from an unclassified document from the State Department: You should not refer…
