May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona has 17 minutes remaining.

Of course, every single Democrat voted against the great border security bill, H.R. 2. That is how serious they are not. Every person is counted under this bill. Why can't we ask them what their citizenship is? I yield 2 minutes to the…

As my friend knows, the Commerce case held specifically you can ask the citizenship question on the Census. That is true. You can do that. That is what we are proposing. Additionally, he misstated the rationale on why the Commerce case…

May I inquire about the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona has 9\1/2\ minutes remaining.

We've got the goods. We've got the receipts.

I will say this about the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler), that he is right on some points, but he is wrong on some points, as well. One of them is this: This bill gives money to the States to deal with the calamity that has been…

To hear the administration tell it, having to get a warrant is the end of the world. Well, guess what? In literally any other context in which law enforcement or intelligence agencies want to read an American's communications, they have to…

I want to just dovetail on that because my friend from the Intelligence Committee keeps talking about us not being able to look at Hamas or any of these nefarious actors. That is simply inaccurate. The administration cites multiple…

So let's just consider that the Second Circuit has said that a Fourth Amendment warrant is appropriate, and they haven't finished concluding it. I don't know why Mr. Himes is going to just keep riding off on that, but the Second Circuit is…

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 14, strike line 8 and all that follows through line 10 on page 15, and insert the following: (a)…

I thank the gentleman for yielding time to me. Let me tell you what bothers me. So we know that there is a severe problem with the apparatus of the Federal police state abusing FISA, both section 702 and title I, to use those authorities…

The gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) said that in this bill they were able to successfully reject Republicans' request for spending reductions and rejected Republicans' request for riders. Yet, somehow, the Republicans are going…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. It is my pleasure to join him in this Special Order to talk about one of the most important existential crises that we face in the country today, and that is our border crisis. Let's rephrase that. It is…

It is an organized, well-oiled machine working to carrying out this mass migration.

We need a strong border. That is what is going to prevent them from coming into the United States.

the Biden Administration seems committed to funding these NGOs.

Our hearts do go out to the family of Laken Riley. Now, we also must acknowledge that we can no longer take the feigned, empty words of sympathy from those across the aisle who refuse to do something meaningful to stop the onslaught that…

So, you liaison with the law enforcement, they liaison with you. They say we have a child that we're going to rescue, and you guys are then able to step in and help out.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The gentleman is exactly right. What is the legislative branch's remedy to an executive branch that refuses to follow the law? It is to remove spending. I introduced legislation. I introduced legislation…

Over the last several years, we have received a seemingly endless stream of reports of abuses by the FBI and other parts of our Federal police apparatus spying on Americans by abusing either section 702 or title I of FISA. I want to review…

I thank the gentleman, my good friend from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins), who is very eloquent as he conveyed our passion and our sincere desire to curb and restrain an out-of-control, weaponized Federal Government. So, Mr. Speaker, as I was…

I urge my colleagues to join me in calling upon our leadership to do something that I think is critical. What is it that we need? We need the leverage to get enforcement, not the leverage to enact policy. I believe this is a lawless…

But you know what needs to happen? You need to close the border.
