On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 140, nays 254, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 37, as follows: [Roll No. 250] YEAS--140 Abraham Aderholt…
There is a lot I could say, but I want to point out a couple of things. Right now, the Border Patrol has detention facilities that are designed to hold 4,000 people but are holding 19,000 people. ICE has facilities to hold 45,000 people…

Yesterday I introduced the Abortion Is Not Health Care Act. This bill amends the Internal Revenue Service's treatment of out-of-pocket abortion costs as a medical expense. This bill was drafted after receiving feedback from my constituents…
