Jody Hice

I was not present for the following votes due to the passing of my father. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 603, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 604, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 605, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 606, ``yea''…

Members of this committee who have sought to review transcripts have been turned away.

Arbitrary rules imposed by Chairman Schiff have created an unprecedented secrecy around the inquiry.

the deposition in this partisan impeachment inquiry is not so cut-and-dry.

the House majority has created a scheduling conflict.

the choice was, unfortunately, very easy for other members to make.

I continue to call on my Democratic colleagues to provide our law enforcement men and women the resources they need to solve this crisis.

I thank my friend from Arizona for yielding. I rise in support of H.R. 1496, the Presidential Allowance Modernization Act of 2019. As has already been mentioned, in 1958, Congress passed the Former Presidents Act, and that was at a time…

With solemn remembrance and a heavy heart, I rise today to honor the life of my uncle, Colonel Joseph S. Hice. We knew him as Uncle Spurge. He was a great husband, a father, a friend to everyone who knew him, and an amazing American…

We violate the Constitution. We have 17 enumerated powers. Everything else is to be left to the states.

So does Congress have the authority to alter the status of the District through legislation?

the issue really today comes down--there are several issues but at the end of the day we are dealing with a constitutional issue and therein a constitutional problem.

The solutions are not open border policy.

And, look, we've got to address solutions, and the solutions are not open border policy.

I've seen great, hardworking members of our CBP and others giving all they've got to do a job well.

We are a compassionate country, and that goes for both sides of the aisle and the vast majority of people in this country.

If the Democrats genuinely cared about the plight of migrants, of unaccompanied children, of sick immigrants and so forth, then let's come to the table and let's try to get solutions instead of the continued political posturing.

Look, we can address problems if we're willing to get to the root of the issues and address them.

And so I want to sincerely say thank you to each of our witnesses for your role and for you being a part of this hearing today.

this is certainly an area that we need to dig deeper into, and make sure that we are secure.

I very much appreciate this Administration's efforts to drain the swamp, and to help push as much of the Federal workforce outside the DC Beltway.

I believe we are majorly behind the eight ball at this point, and there are so many issues to deal with.
