I thank the gentleman, our chair of the Energy, Climate, and Grid Security Subcommittee, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, taxing methane emissions is a backward and impractical way to combat pollution. Instead of encouraging investments in new…

Last night, when I was looking over the bill, I got a text with a film in it, a video clip of soldiers in uniform being overrun at El Paso, being overrun by illegal foreign nationals coming into our country, just running right over them. I…
