For the mothers who lost their children here today, I will tell you it would have been avoidable. It would have been avoidable if we had the mass deportation of people illegally here.

Yes, Mexico is our ally but Mexico is an ally that violates international law by allowing these people to come in without visas.

We had 10, 12, 14 million illegals in this country before this President came in, and we hadn't been able to clear them out in years.

It is a bunch of nonsense. The criminals, we hear them saying, we cannot go into Riverside County with drugs because they prosecute people there.

Yesterday we also introduced to the House of Representatives the Sanctuary City Accountability Act.

I do not have a problem with Catholic Charities and other NGO's providing some assistance on a compassionate, humanitarian basis but why the taxpayer would address the needs of people who have entered unlawfully who seem to have some money…

If our Republican colleagues are serious about the investigation they have undertaken on USAGM and its broadcasters, then they should be transparent and let the facts speak for themselves.

My friend, the gentlewoman from California, knows that the acid rain that falls on California and throughout the United States comes from the knowing and willful burning of coal with no scrubbers in China. They don't need technology…

Historically, this Committee moves copyright legislation on a consensus basis. These issues are not and should not be partisan.

If we want to make a deal here today, you are hearing numbers that you pay that much for your coffee service in a year.

We must get this right.

I'm appalled that what began with Watergate as a legitimate scandal of the wrongdoing has now become an organized weaponization by this President and his Department of Justice.

It is my honor to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Guam (Mr. Moylan).
