Those NGO's and our city and State governments on the border are really playing a critical role in allowing migrants to be able to move onward.

It is a sign of this country's strength that an immigrant like you could become a Member of Congress.

This is an issue that is near and dear to me, having spent virtually my entire legislative career on the Capital Markets Subcommittee, including a time as the chair and ranking member, and this is something that many of us have been…

I feel a strong personal connection to the issues we are discussing here today.

first of all, the great news is, we have a robust economy growing, more small businesses opening, the lowest unemployment rate in a generation, and we all want people to be able to work. Let me speak to the reality of what is in this bill…

I will be equally brief. The good news is this is already required by law. This is a total duplication. States must already provide up-to-date employment data in order to measure if they hit a 10-percent unemployment rate in order to get a…

the Lee amendment is an unnecessary roadblock to this bipartisan deal, and it would interfere with the delivery of essential government services in times of need. If adopted, this amendment would prevent Agencies from exercising their…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there a sufficient second? There is a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.

I call on my Republican colleagues today to stop holding our Nation's economy hostage. It is dangerous, and it is unconscionable knowing the devastating impact it is going to have on American working families. Kim from Van Buren Township…

Once again I am standing here today while House Republican leadership has failed to do the bare minimum. Where are they? The Republican side of this Chamber is vacant while House Democrats have remained at the ready to do their jobs and…

Where are our Republican colleagues? They are in charge in this Chamber. They manufactured this crisis. If any of my neighbors left work before noon, they would be fired. The country is on a deadline, and the Republicans that are in charge…

I hope the American people are watching this shameful act to halt assistance on student debt for millions of Americans. Mr. Speaker, 90 percent of people who will benefit from President Biden's student relief make less than $75,000. To my…

I appreciate the opportunity to finish my point. There will always be an argument to look the other way, to get cheaper products by looking the other way when it comes to some of the worst practices in manufacturing on this planet. Of…

Our profit-driven healthcare system is killing us. It is outrageous that the wealthiest country in the history of the world cannot guarantee healthcare for its people. Our for-profit healthcare system, fueled by corporate greed, has failed…

We were sent to Congress to hold people accountable, especially on this Committee.

The fact that there have not been any resignations or any firings at the top of the Fed and the FDIC is unfortunate.

any steps that we might take that would potentially limit the resources available to the Social Security Administration could have the exact opposite effect of what we are trying to address
