It is impossible for any land manager to manage their respective acreage without working with those around them.

Our great public lands are part of our way of life in northern Minnesota. That is why it is so important to my constituents that we are ensuring the greatest access possible.

Mr. Speaker, I note that the Founders never would have intended a U.S. President allowing 6.7 million illegal immigrants into the country, including terrorists and the drug cartels. I think that is probably not something that was…
