Maduro has taken over $11 billion from the Venezuelan people, and it is the most violent country on the planet today.

As we know, the Maduro disastrous economy has created a food insecurity.

It is just a frustrating thing again and a repeat of kind of a Groundhog Day.

President Trump has taken a lot of heat about Mexico paying for the wall. I talked to the President about this when he was a candidate, and I think that is an issue that we do need to talk about. When you look at the facts, Mexico, since…

Absolutely. And we are going to continue this on--it will be 22 days, 23 days, hopefully, not long, but we are going to highlight what is going on. The compassionate thing is--and as you brought up, this is not anti-immigration. This is…

How will the BUILD Act improve U.S. companies' competitiveness in Africa and what should their key areas of focus be as they look to better support U.S. companies?

I also urge the swift passage of the BURMA Act, legislation that Ranking Member Engel and I wrote to apply sanctions on those individuals responsible for these horrific crimes.

I plan to introduce a resolution condemning the Burmese Government's crimes and their efforts to suppress information about those crimes and to call it what it is--what it was--and that's genocide.

I can't think of anything more Orwellian on the planet than what China is doing.

I am so glad that we are in this country where we realize our rights come from a Creator, not from the government.

I just find it extremely frightening.

I think that the administration ought to look into this and we ought to do everything possible to make sure that people know that in the United States it truly is a place to be free.

It's like when they were telling President Obama... we are not militarizing the South China Sea.

I think this meeting is important because we are going to bring that out, you know, the questions about whether or not there are crematoriums, is correct.

The party has used the specter of terrorism to excuse its abuses and scapegoat the victims.
