You find a way to keep them here on our terms without making other problems worse.

I am not antagonistic to trying to find a solution to the agricultural dilemma of creating a more robust legal system so you can access legal workers.

The problem we have, Mr. Chairman, is if we legalize the agricultural workforce, give legal status without securing our border, and changing our asylum laws first, you will have a run on this country that you've never seen.

There should never be a world--there should never be a world--where a company finds China easier to do business, a better business environment.

I really feel like this hearing, as important as the subject is we're talking about, is almost a parody when it comes to how much our current system has failed.

We should encourage policies that foster these ideals in the marketplace--and that means lessening burdensome regulations.

The United States possesses tools to curb China's economic aggression, including sanctions, export controls, and investment screening, but we must use these tools strategically and effectively.

The solution of legalizing millions of people in the agricultural community without first dealing with the broken border and a broken asylum system, I mean, I think, is ill-conceived.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, it's been an interesting couple of days. Glad to be home. That's for darn sure.

I'm skeptical that that could happen. And one reason why is because the Biden administration's current policies are a magnet for illegal immigration.

You've been great on Ukraine. You've been terrific.

If they all left tomorrow, what would happen to the agricultural community?

Here's the deal. Half the people working here illegally, if they left tomorrow, we would be hosed.

You've been absolutely terrific.

I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because my colleagues across the aisle are once again seeking to put politics over people and inflict undue economic harm, this time by denying much-needed student…

The irresponsible policies of Biden have caused the most threatening border crisis in American history. This illegal alien invasion exposes families to potential terrorists, human trafficking, and dangerous drugs. Since Biden took office…

This is stupidity at its height, and the economy is not doing well.

Janet Yellen has never created a job in her life.
