I am confident there are a lot of people moving into the hemisphere, mostly headed this way.

Today we have confirmed it, a greater number of individuals moving throughout the world displaced.

Title 42 should not be used as an immigration or border management tool.

If we doubled the number of blue uniforms at those ports or entry, we would catch double the amount.

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 1, beginning on line 12, strike ``convicted of,'' and all that follows through the end of line 14 and…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed.

As you know, this week is National Police Week. I thank every peace officer and law enforcement officer for doing their service and for protecting our communities day in and day out. I want to make clear, Mr. Chairman, that no Democrat or…

I just want to say that back home I like to think in my district, other parts, that we take care of our men and women in uniform.

I want to make sure, if there are people who are supposed to be picked up after they rape in our communities, that they are taken care of appropriately.

Thank you for the opportunity to testify today during police week about the work Chicago CRED is doing in Chicago to reduce gun violence.

I wish he would be here. About guns in Mexico. I don't make Mexican laws. I am a U.S. lawmaker.

I agree with you. In my district, not a week goes by that I don't hear about a death, a young person overdosing on fentanyl.

Let's make sure, like my sheriff says, that we go after the criminal element as well.

Those are the people I don't want in my community.

I thank our colleagues on the other side of the aisle for taking on such an important and difficult task: immigration reform, the refugee crisis. My friends on the other side are absolutely correct. Title 42 is ending today. I have to…

I would say E-Verify, without true immigration reform, is not going to work. My friends, I reach out to you across the aisle and say: Let's do this for America. Let's fix our broken immigration system, and let's address this worldwide…

I just want to say that most of my life I have lived on both sides of the border, and since taking over my subcommittee this year, in the last 4 months, I have gone to Laredo, Brownsville, Yuma, El Centro, San Ysidro, Otay; and just…

This bill is not enough. This bill is not about creating a solution. It is simply messaging. This bill is not addressing the fentanyl problem. The best investments are where it will be stopped at the border. The bill is not addressing the…

To my colleague from Texas, I say that this bill, this set of bills, criminalizes California's and the United States' private sector. Why do you make small businesses and large businesses criminals? We have a 3.6 percent unemployment rate…

Today, I rise to honor the career and service of retiring Anaheim Police Chief Jorge Cisneros. Chief Cisneros is a 33-year law enforcement veteran and has served as police chief for the past 13 years for various southern California cities…

Today, I rise to commemorate the fall of Saigon, also known as Black April, on April 30. Today, the Vietnamese-American community is comprised of businessowners, teachers, police officers, and American soldiers. The Little Saigon community…

Today I rise to celebrate the life of a very good friend, a dedicated father, a great neighbor, George Fenton. He was born on Valentine's Day in 1935 and devoted his entire life to serving his country and his community. After graduating…

Not a single Republican in this committee voted for that package.

If I take a minute let's talk about Congress' role in helping you do your job.

As I said last night before the Rules Committee, I don't disagree with this legislation. Every day I hear from my constituents, gasoline prices are way too high. They have got to choose between paying for groceries and filling up their gas…
