While the funding helped, it did nothing to address the root cause of the crisis--the loopholes in our asylum laws.

Every day, up to 50 percent of Border Patrol agents were taken off the line to process and care for migrants.

It led to an unprecedented humanitarian and security crisis.

This past year nearly 1 million illegal immigrants were encountered attempting to cross our Southwest Border illegally.

I wholeheartedly support the Remain-in-Mexico Policy. I think it is an essential policy, and it is in no way inhumane.

The rules have changed, and I do not have to get your approval to sign a subpoena, and that is the rules we operate on.

The killing of Abu-Bakar al-Baghdadi was an important victory in the fight against ISIS.

I find that implication outrageous.

I am very frustrated at how the events of last week unfolded.

The killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was an important victory in the fight against ISIS.

Your patriotism cannot be questioned.

The threats to our homeland are real.

The U.S. economy is the envy of many around the world.

Here we have another bill that demonstrates just how disingenuous Democrats are about securing our borders and fixing our broken immigration system. But in a new twist, today's bill shockingly prioritizes illegal immigrants over…

I note several Members across the aisle have talked about the need to improve our health screenings. This bill does nothing to deal with that. It is about requiring the installation of electronic medical records. I reserve the balance of…

I am curious about the announcement that the administration is in support of this and is working toward this, because they have already issued an announcement that they oppose this piece of legislation. So, if it did pass, it would be…

I hope, you know, if it's a nonpartisan or bipartisan investigation, you will you get both sides of the story.

You can immediately understand that Volker is going to be important, that Ambassador Sondland, the European ambassador who was also part of those meetings in Ukraine is going to be important.

You know, obviously it's very concerning for me if it in fact is true. The President seems to have a very sinister Hollywood view of what American intelligence is all about, not understanding we have rules and laws and trying to even…

I find it amazing that the majority, the Democrat majority, would like to see us prioritize establishing electronic medical records for illegal immigrants when we still haven't been able to provide that for veterans in our country or our…

These heavy icebreakers are long overdue, and, once delivered, will greatly improve the Coast Guard's capabilities and presence in the region.

I am pleased that Congress has funded one new Polar Security Cutter for the Coast Guard and has appropriated funding for long-lead materials for a second.

The United States must not be caught flat-footed. To defend our National security, homeland security, and sovereignty, we must make needed investments in Arctic infrastructure.

Russia and China are making significant investments in the Arctic. To them, the Arctic is a new battlefield where they are seeking every advantage over the United States.

It is critical that we recognize the growing strategic importance of the Arctic to U.S. interests.
