Thank God we have a President willing to take on this crisis.

I think Mr. Homan said it best. Our country is upside down.

There is a terrible slander abetted by the President and by other people, a lie that says... that illegal aliens... are a danger to the United States.

The Trump Administration's immigration policies have been a failure at a policy level and, more important, as a matter of basic human decency.

I am sure that is coincidental, of course.

We are here today to create change, so that communities like mine will not have to endure what we endured, because the consequence is long-lasting.

As long as we have people pushing that language and that racism, we will need laws that protect communities like mine.

Military-style assault weapons have no place in civilian hands, in my view.

The Muslim ban's most assured effect is to keep families apart.

Since its founding, this land has been a safe haven for immigrants seeking a home, those fleeing persecution, those desiring freedom to worship, and those placing their hope in the American Dream.

It is simply un-American to discriminate against immigrants solely because of where they come from for their religious beliefs.

The policy we're examining today certainly runs counter, in my view, to our American values, counter to our Nation's founding, and counter to our morality and humanity.

I find it very difficult, given the values that we care about in this country of keeping families together, that it wasn't in that 2-year-old's interest, as well as our National interest, to keep that mother and child together.

We have engaged with the Administration and many of the groups represented here today to support the historic FIRST STEP Act.

Every American deserves the right to vote, and we must protect that right at all costs.

I think it's important one for this Committee to get to the bottom to, because ultimately what you are saying is that the special counsel's statement in this report is incorrect.

Stored the notes in a safe.

Our democracy is simply too important to play with.

The party of impeachment, which is in charge of this Committee, changed our rules so that they could get to impeachment in a different way.

The Democrats, now the party of impeachment, tried three times and failed miserably three times.

And, obviously, right now we are enmeshed in this Congress in a very big debate about the Administration's ongoing efforts to steal money from military appropriations and defense projects very important to the state of Colorado, to use…

I love America's public lands. I have never advocated the wholesale disposal or transfer of those lands.

I would defend Grand Junction is a wonderful place, a wonderful community, a robust city.

Colorado is home to world-class research institutions, labs, scientists, that I am confident we would do outstanding work for the BLM.

I represent the great area of Evergreen, as well as Western Jefferson County, and a number of other counties in the 2nd Congressional District in Colorado.
