I thank my friend from Colorado, Mr. Buck, and I appreciate him raising that important issue, that it is an oddity, isn't it, in Congress, that somehow we segregate money. We segregate money and say, oh, well, this money doesn't matter so…

It is my privilege to lead this Special Order tonight as we consider the national debt as a security threat to the United States of America. I thank Senator David Perdue for his leadership. He introduced a concomitant resolution in the…

I thank my friend from Florida for taking time to come down and give us his insight on this monumental problem. One of the things that he talked about, Madam Speaker, is that we have got to take care of our processes, our procedures. He is…

I thank the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Cline), for his comments and his efforts and his willingness to stand on this important issue and recognizing--and promising to people and responding to that promise; because I can tell you, when I…

I thank my colleague for leading this Special Order. Madam Speaker, I want to speak to two specific aspects of this. First of all, I rise in opposition to H.R. 1, the sweeping unconstitutional attack on the electoral system that it…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Madam Speaker, reclaiming my time from the gentleman from Florida, when we look at that and the promises constantly, this is getting to my point: The process needs to get back to regular order. It…

I applaud and give my thanks and gratitude to the gentleman from Washington for his efforts in leading this today, and to the Congressional Western Caucus and the members who are exposing what is really not a Green New Deal, but really is…

I thank Congressman Walker for holding this Special Order. Mr. Speaker, I want you to know I continue to be astonished that our Democratic Members--our colleagues--turned a blind eye to what is happening in this country because of what is…

Yes. I would tell the gentleman that when I talked about, literally, nearly 1,000 or more square miles that seven agents are covering, if the camera is there, they have seen these people. By the time they get there--it takes 2, 2\1/2\…

Yes, that was my impression. You also can't tell how many people are coming through. It may be one or two. It may be 20 or 40.

I appreciate everyone who went to the border with us. We will be doing it again. I will invite my Democratic colleagues to come with us as well. It is eye-opening.

Yes. It was one of the Angel Moms, Mary Ann Mendoza, who said it well. She said: A wall won't stop everyone, but no wall will stop no one. They wanted a wall. There was not one person that I met, and that we met, that didn't advocate for a…

And the gentleman, I would tell you, it looked to me like it was about a quarter-inch rope. It was not much more than what you would call about a clothesline width, but it was about a quarter to a half inch.

It is a pleasure to be here and to speak and report to the American people about what we saw and learned on the Arizona-Mexico border over the weekend. We spent Sunday and Monday putting a lot of miles on cars, traveling within 30 miles of…

That is exactly right. In fact, that road kind of ended where the bollard fence ended. And then you had the Normandy fence that was sitting there, but then right next to it, you had that track for people to come walking through that barbed…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me time to speak on this important issue. Madam Speaker, I oppose this rule. I think we are talking past each other, as the previous gentleman from Maine just indicated. We want the government to…

I thank Representative Mitchell. I am grateful for this opportunity to highlight National School Choice Week, which will be next week, January 20 through 26. Like many in Congress, I believe the path to success for our Nation's youth is…

Early next week, America marks the dark anniversary of the United States Supreme Court's decision of Roe v. Wade. Since that date, over 60 million babies have been aborted. Those babies had no voice to defend themselves. The tide is…

Today, I rise to congratulate all the Members of the Arizona Legislature who took their oaths of office to begin a new term this week. The start of each legislative session is exciting: an opportunity to keep promises made to constituents…

I thank my friend from Pennsylvania for organizing this. To be honest with you, I really can't believe we still have to have this conversation. The idea that the United States of America should turn a blind eye to protecting its national…

I am grateful that my colleagues are here standing up for the crisis, to solve the crisis on the border. Securing the United States and the American people, this border, is a fundamental, constitutional responsibility of the Federal…

The ESA is one of the most intrusive Federal policies on western states.

I am honored to join Western Caucus Chairman Paul Gosar and colleagues in introducing the Western Caucus ESA Modernization package.

Today, I rise today to honor Christopher Evans, a teacher at Basha High School in my district. Mr. Evans was one of 52 Americans who received the James Madison Fellowship, which is awarded to one distinguished educator from each State…
