The U.S. EPA estimates that direct emissions from the U.S. beef industry are only 1.9 percent of the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

I wish I had your confidence on Xi Jinping. I am more in line with Mr. Millan.

We must do better for our veterans.

It is critically important that we protect student veterans who are using their benefits earned through the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

We have. That is the beauty of the system. We get rid of all that. It is not a Social Security withholding. It is going to be a tax. It will be a guest worker tax, and money will be taken out. As I said, as I have shared this with Members…

The gentleman is exactly right. I have had producers call me. When I was in the district, they brought that up, the no-match letters. They are in a tizzy. If we go back prior to President Obama, there were no-match letters. This is what is…

I have a three-part series, and I would like to open at this moment and yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry), my good friend.

I appreciate his passion. I mean it is very evident he did not vote for this President and he does not like this President.

We are probably pushing 80 million people, 70 to 80 million people around the world that are in refugee camps.

The Cambodia Democracy Act as you know passed here.

The human rights situation there is appalling. Thousands of persons...have been killed extrajudicially by authorities at pretty much the urging of President Duterte.

I am a co-sponsor of the BURMA Act which would impose sanctions on those responsible for the atrocities against the Rohingya.

I look forward to seeing this bill move through the Senate and eventually become law, and I truly believe that will happen this Congress, allowing the U.S. to finally hold Hun Sen and his despicable regime accountable.

That is slavery, people. That is modern-day slavery and they are tier 3, which is the lowest of the low that you can go.

Ms. Nguyen has been working tirelessly with members of this Congress and the past Congress, the administration, the consulate in Vietnam to ensure that there is justice for her husband.

What kind of a future we want and that is why we need to change our foreign policies to direct--put us in a direction to get the results that we want that we know empower the individual to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…

China is offering their form of socialism with Chinese characteristics, but what it really comes down to is dictatorship with Chinese characteristics.

If we truly believe in that--and of course some people say, 'Well, that is an isolationist policy.' Yes, it could be.

I think it is time we put our values above our pocketbook and send a signal to these countries.

We have to have solutions to these problems and it comes with policy.

We are working it through the Senate and we look forward to having that signed this year.

If there is not order in a society, order with education, the things that we have all done that we have grown up over the last couple hundred years, we are creating a hotbed of just chaos coming if we do not solve these problems.

We played, speaking first of Burma/Myanmar, we played, I think, an important role in the return to some form of democracy and the return of Aung San Suu Kyi to high post in Burma where she, in effect, is the civilian president.

The Rohingya need to return to their homeland soon. The Burmese Government needs to provide them with dignity, safety, and citizenship documents.

I think we can thank the Chinese for that--extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, or rampant human trafficking in Thailand and elsewhere, these abuses are serious and continue to threaten the peace and stability of the entire region.
