This is unacceptable. Congress appropriated this funding to support local communities like Tucson and to prevent street releases, which harm communities and migrants.

The current levels of migration are unprecedented, unsustainable. We have got to send a clear message to potential migrants that we will be fair and humane, but that we will secure our border and enforce our laws.

the sentiment created on campus by professors and students alike of pervasive and just widespread anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric has created such an atmosphere that has enabled him to make these comments.

We must meet our men and women who serve our country where they are, and it is in Congress' responsibility to ensure that the VA has the authorities they need to do so.

This is fun to have one of these where we all sort of agree on it. Let me put in a little character--you heard some of the basic mechanisms. The Salt River Project is a waterpower quasi-municipality. It is very unique. It actually predates…

In closing, the comments by Representative Neguse and Chairman Westerman were appropriate. This is a link to the history of this Nation that needs to be acknowledged and needs to be there for the rest of America to see, appreciate, and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the spending reduction account), insert the following: Sec. ___. Each amount…

This is actually an amendment that is brutal. It is not a happy place to go, but I am trying to be intellectually honest here. Every dime we vote on as Members of Congress is now borrowed. Remember, Mr. Chairman, the last fiscal year we…

I think the chairman actually was generous. I think it is a lot more than a sledgehammer. This is like a small nuclear weapon. Partially that was the point. Obviously, I care tremendously about IHS and have worked really hard on that. I am…

Now, I have had the pleasure of meeting with agents of the CBP Buffalo Sector Erie Station for the last decade.

If you are engaging in a high-speed chase and evading CBP or local law enforcement, you are clearly not a good actor.

When you take a look at the pressure on our CBP, that Northern border area, 5,500 miles, 5,525 miles, it is the longest continuous border in the world, is almost completely unguarded.

This Interior and Environment appropriations bill, much like the House Republican appropriations bills that have come before it, is an extreme MAGA manifesto. It is not at all representative of the values of the American people. This bill…

I participated and went up to New York to see this site. There are 2,200 men in a camp right next to soccer fields, right next to ice-skating rinks. There is going to be a problem here. In fact, just a couple weeks after that, it flooded…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made…

Now, while the Biden Administration refuses to believe that there is a problem anywhere in this country, because my gosh, how could there be, well, the answer to that is please, go down and see what is going on.

I urge this Committee to conduct oversight over the administration and the previous one's implementation of these landmark laws and consider what more needs to be done to end this silent crisis.

I have said repeatedly that border security is a Federal problem that we need to fix, and it should not be put on the burden of our local communities.
