"This Administration is trying to destroy MSIs and HSIs. It’s an attack on our students and it’s an attack on our colleges and universities," said Representative Vargas.

Since taking office, Trump has demonized the diversity that makes this country strong. Minority Serving Institutions and Hispanic Serving Institutions are in the line of fire.

Our nation’s veterans served with honor, and they should be treated with respect and dignity regardless of immigration status.

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's mass deportation agenda has ripped families apart and created fear and chaos in our communities.

This Administration is trying to destroy MSIs and HSIs. It’s an attack on our students and it’s an attack on our colleges and universities.

Mr. Speaker, enough is enough. I rise today to join my colleagues in sounding the alarm on Trump's out-of-control immigration crackdown. Since January, Trump has unleashed a mass deportation agenda and indiscriminate immigration…

For decades, undocumented immigrants have trusted the IRS when it encouraged them to file. They've paid taxes in good faith... Not only is this a total betrayal, but it's also illegal. We'll fight this.

They want us to be part of that? Hell no. We’d rather close down the government.

Credit unions are vital to our economy and to our communities. I urge my colleagues to support this bill and the consumers and small businesses that they serve. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close if the gentleman from Arkansas has no further speakers.

I believe this is the first time the gentleman from Arkansas has been presenting as the chairman, and I want to say that, as a friend, I am very proud of the gentleman, and it is good to see him as chairman. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes…

I have no further speakers. I am prepared to close if the gentleman from Arkansas has no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Here are the FACTS: 81% of voters, both Republicans and Democrats, support the CFPB and want the agency to continue its work.

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill. As co-chairman of the Congressional Sustainable Investment Caucus, I am glad to join Ranking Member Waters and other colleagues here to talk about…

I think the government here has done a pretty darn good job.

I think that is a change that we also didn't see--well, we saw it coming. I saw it coming.

I am not going to defend Chairman Gruenberg because I think it is indefensible, personally.

I sincerely thank the gentlewoman from Connecticut for bringing us together tonight to defend the SNAP program. In America, no child should go to bed hungry. No family should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. SNAP…

It is ridiculous. It is a nice speech when they say, 'patriotism,' the coal companies and all this.

I think banks are much more sound when they don't put their head in the sand, and take a look at what is happening nationally and internationally.

Somehow, my friends on the other side think that they are made-up risks. They are imaginary risks.

By the way, it was the same thing with Dodd-Frank. When I got here, Dodd-Frank was the boogeyman.

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H. Res. 1068. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's request is granted. ____________________
