It is my suggestion and it is this: This administration is lawless and has no desire to enforce the laws already in place. What I would say is, how do you incentivize them? Do you incentivize them by allowing them to keep the FRA spending…

I thank Mr. Good for engaging me in this colloquy. I want to talk briefly about this number that has been put out there. He is asking the question: Will we rise to the occasion? I am going to give the bad news first. This is like in ``The…

First of all, when the gentleman starts talking about that, he raises a point that I have been arguing vociferously about for some time, and that is Republicans manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory over and over again. We…

What I would tell you is that when you have--let's take Lukeville, Arizona, a small port of entry. There are people going from Phoenix and Tucson down to the Sea of Cortez and they are going to go down to Rocky Point, which is a lovely…

It is an honor to serve with the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good). Let me say two things. I am more than willing to be here over the next 5 weeks if it means that we can work to get these things addressed. Mr. Speaker, I will tell you…

We got it through. It went through and is languishing in the Senate. We say things like: I will tell you what, let's put the H.R. 2 bill on the supplemental. We are not going to do anything with regard to the supplemental unless you…

Just in Portland. I am telling you that this is a regime that is okay with dismantling our country. It is time that we stand up and say no more. No more. I am happy to talk about any other topic that you want.

What is driving the increased costs of tuition? Well, most of that is because the bureaucratization of academia. That drives costs higher every year. Let's go back to that 2017 study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The average…

GCU's degree program calculator provides the total estimated cost for a 60-credit doctoral program the exact same way it does for other degree programs. That is not required under the Department of Education, but the Department of…

Under the Institute of Education Sciences, they will establish two research networks, the pre-kindergarten through grade 12 recovery research network and the community college recovery research network to study pandemic events. It is a…

Will the gentlewoman yield? Ms. DeLAURO. No, I am sorry, I won't.----in order to be able to support an online, for-profit industry that is bilking America's students and, in many instances, America's veterans. It is really pretty…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

My amendment would prohibit the use of funds to pay for the salary and expenses of the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is currently occupied by Director Robin Dunn Marcos. ORR's negligence has…

Nobody wants to revoke postsecondary education. What we want to do is acknowledge what the Federal Government has done to distort the cost of education. The New York Fed itself has said it is eating it up, and 60 percent of every tuition…

I remind everyone that this is only the voluntary amount that we give above our membership allotment to the World Health Organization. We should all be in support of this. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR…

As it stands today, Americans owe over $1.7 trillion in student loan debt, more than 5 percent of the Nation's total $33 trillion debt. The annual cost of attendance for students living on campus at a public 4-year State institution is 26…

I ask my friends: Do you support a tax on private Christian universities by the Department of Education, the very Department that I am trying to defund? When you talk about the American Dream, student loan debt is crushing graduates, which…

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 142, line 4, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $2,767,239,000)''. Page 142, line 25, after…

I am going to respond to the ``scurrilous'' comments made in the last statement. Nothing in my amendment addressed online, for-profit private colleges, postsecondary. That was a deliberate mischaracterization of what I said, because the…

Again, you know what I think is disgraceful? That we are going to start discussing someone's livelihood and say, oh, they have an impeccable background. Do you know who doesn't care about their livelihood and impeccable background? How…

The greatest strength of this body is that we represent constituents who send us here knowing that we are constrained in protecting their rights because we are limited by what we can and cannot do by that great document, the Constitution…

You know what I think is a disgrace? I think it is disgraceful when the person who is in charge of placing those children has lost contact and communication with more than 85,000, according to The New York Times, and that was 7 months ago…

It is a shame that people make aspersions on the floor when they don't know anything about a subject. I think of Grand Canyon University and the 35,000 students on campus, on a physical plant, in Phoenix, Arizona. I just heard that they…
