This is common-sense legislation. It would require Federal land managers to construct navigable roads along Federal lands.

That is why I am sponsoring the Ensuring Border Access and Protection on Federal Lands Act.

We failed on affordability. We are empowering terrorists, and we are failing on the environment.

I am pissed off about the fact that this translates to $60 billion in additional funds that Iran has profited from as a result of the ignorant energy policies of this Administration.

We need more border personnel. We need more court personnel to hear these asylum cases immediately. Remain in Mexico should be the policy of the United States, period.

So, now to the topic at hand, the National Park Service in New York City wants to house thousands of migrants on park land.

The purpose of the Bureau of Land Management, for instance, is to maintain working land, but a few weeks ago, we found out that the Biden administration wants to lock up working land under conservation easements.

But what we have under the Biden administration is exactly the opposite. It is bringing a New York Metropolitan experience to the national parks.

This Administration needs to own their mistakes and take the corrective actions to stop the flow of migrants.

Building camps on Park Service land in the middle of New York City is not addressing the real problem.

Time and again, we have seen President Biden and his folks embrace these rules for thee and not for me.

The endless flow of illegal immigrants over our southern border is not only is destroying individual cities and states it is destroying our country.

Eight Democrat mayors or governors have declared a state of emergency because illegal immigrants have flooded their cities and states.

I would love to see them reverse this 1.6 million-acre withdrawal of Federal land in Colorado from energy production.

What has changed, and what will change with this language that you are saying, 'avoiding leasing in areas with sensitive cultural, wildlife, and recreation resources'?

I see a negative here with a dubious positive over here, and it just seems like there is an agenda that is driving this.

The rationale is sage grouse are being hurt, and we have to protect the sage grouse, and that is just a fig leaf.

I understand that this Administration has an anti-fossil fuel agenda, but this decision seems to me to be based on an excuse.

As a Coloradan, I am really concerned about something that has just happened with BLM.

Those things are all weakening America, and a weak foreign policy is certainly something we don't want to have.

We are deciding right now whether the 21st century is going to be an American century, just like the 20th century was, with our values, or is this going to be a PRC century.

I want to thank Chairman Westerman and also the leadership of my colleague on the House Armed Services Committee, Congressman Jim Moylan.

Let us work together to preserve peace, win prosperity, and expand opportunity in the Indo-Pacific region.

By ensuring fair treatment of COFA citizens and investing in Guam's infrastructure and workforce development, the United States demonstrates its commitment to collaboration.

I also urge the Committee to create policies that allow Pacific Island countries to tap into American innovation and entrepreneurship.
