We have a Constitutional crisis because we have a Federal Government that is mandating to our sovereign States.

On rollcall No. 143 on H.R. 1065, I am not recorded because I had to return home to my district to attend the funeral of a close family friend. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 143.

If you oppose illegal immigration, somehow that makes you a racist or a xenophobe. That is outrageous.

I urge my colleagues to do the same.

Cancel culture is eroding the very foundation of who we are as an American people. Rowan Atkinson, the star of the British TV series ``Maigret'' said that it is like a medieval mob coming to burn witches. That is what the cancel culture is…

Democrats have said the events at the Capitol on January 6 were an assault on our democracy.

This hearing, however, I think, merely serves as yet another excuse to attack the legacy of President Donald Trump.

We've been talking and received some information of opinions on the executive power vis-`-vis legislative power, and that's a great debate to have some time.

the most important issue, in my opinion, that this Subcommittee should be addressing is the border security.

The current crisis was created by the Biden Administration and our Democrat friends in Congress.

Let me tell you what Democrat support is really about on H.R. 51: Democratic partisanship, Democrat power, Democrat policy, Democrat progressive issues. No State has been admitted by the Constitution. No State was created from a territory…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. When I hear that, oh, this bill simply is just trying to give a phone call, well, then why didn't it say that? Why didn't it say that in the bill? It didn't say that. It talks about access to an…

If this bill passes, the President may only act if the Secretary of State allows him to act, and that is backward. The Secretary of State should not be authorized in statute to tell the President, the Secretary of State's boss, that the…

This individual has not been to the border once, but the solutions are not a mystery. President Biden has to stand up and make a statement: You have to continue construction of the wall; reinstate the MPP program; reinstate the 12…

I object. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard. members recorded pursuant to house resolution 8, 117th congress Allred (Wexton) Barragan (Beyer) Cardenas (Gallego) Costa (Correa) Crenshaw (Fallon) Donalds (Cammack) Grijalva (Garcia…

As we see the ongoing impacts of Biden's inhumane border crisis, I rise in opposition to H.R. 6. Mr. Speaker, it is irresponsible to be considering this bill today. This bill provides amnesty to millions of those who are illegally in this…

I thank the gentleman, Mr. Cloud, for yielding. Mr. Speaker, earlier today, Democrats ignored President Biden's inhumane border crisis and passed two amnesty bills. The bills actually encourage illegal immigration. Here is the way it…

While the Biden inhumane border crisis rages on the southern border, we are here today, once again, debating amnesty for illegal aliens. Promising amnesty to those who are already here illegally encourages more aliens to come illegally…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this motion are postponed…

walls and fences must work because it took me an hour and 15 minutes to walk from the garage to get here.

This morning's hearing should be called Biden's border crisis is fueling drug smuggling which in turn will fuel drug addiction, death by drug overdose, and economic and societal distress.

I think that if we want to have serious dialogue about issues that all of us agree we are facing, we should have folks and representatives from all sides here.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the last 2 weeks, the majority has attacked the First Amendment, and now they are attacking the Second Amendment. H.R. 8 will not save lives. As Justice Scalia noted in his decision in…

the number one drug being illegally transited into the United States is marijuana.
