Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to serve with the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good). Let me say two things. I am more than willing to be here over the next 5 weeks if it means that we can work to get these things addressed. Mr. Speaker, I…

It is my suggestion and it is this: This administration is lawless and has no desire to enforce the laws already in place. What I would say is, how do you incentivize them? Do you incentivize them by allowing them to keep the FRA spending…

What I would tell you is that when you have--let's take Lukeville, Arizona, a small port of entry. There are people going from Phoenix and Tucson down to the Sea of Cortez and they are going to go down to Rocky Point, which is a lovely…

Just in Portland. I am telling you that this is a regime that is okay with dismantling our country. It is time that we stand up and say no more. No more. I am happy to talk about any other topic that you want.

We got it through. It went through and is languishing in the Senate. We say things like: I will tell you what, let's put the H.R. 2 bill on the supplemental. We are not going to do anything with regard to the supplemental unless you…

I come before the Committee today to testify in support of my bipartisan bill H.R. 6497, the Healthy Watersheds, Healthy Communities Act of 2023.

Illegal migration is not unique to our Northern and Southern Borders.

We need the government to step up and do its job and secure our border.

We have seen well over 100,000 migrants in less than 60 days.

One bipartisan policy change I am here to advocate for is my bill, H.R. 5590, the Border Enforcement, Security, and Trade, or BEST, Facilitation Act of 2023.
