We have to find a way to protect it. But it cannot be an excuse for not acting.

Time and again, we have seen President Biden and his folks embrace these rules for thee and not for me.

I believe strongly in the First Amendment, and I think that is a critical part of our democracy.

The endless flow of illegal immigrants over our southern border is not only is destroying individual cities and states it is destroying our country.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you very much for holding this hearing and thank you for the bill that you have allowed me to co-sponsor as well.

Building camps on Park Service land in the middle of New York City is not addressing the real problem.

Madam Chair, I rise today to offer my amendment to prohibit funding for the USDA's Equity Commission. Our farmers and ranchers are fed up with a government that is weaponized against them and are fed up paying for commissions that simply…

Madam Chair, this amendment decreases the salary of the Deputy Under Secretary of the Food and Nutrition Service. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

We need to write legislation here that does not compromise or unconstitutionally impinge on the First Amendment.
