I want to also personally thank you for taking seriously your oversight function of the border crisis.

It is hard to conduct oversight of policy when you remain in an airport and receiving briefings or hearings.

We are hoping that... there be some investigation into the lack of procedure and the lack of security for those unaccompanied minors coming across the border.

I'm hoping that some of this money can be used in accordance with a bill that I introduced, H.R. 1897, that would do COVID-19 testing for those migrants coming across our borders, which is not done now.

It's wrong, what they're doing. It's a dangerous game that the Democrats are playing with this election.

It's time to reopen our states, even the blue states. We must get people back to work and get kids back to school.

In the coming days, the House is expected to vote on a $1.9 trillion spending bill that the majority claims will help fight the COVID-19 crisis. Despite this massive price tag, less than one-half of 1 percent of those dollars in this bill…

I have referred to this pandemic as life versus life.

I was concerned about our country's ability itself to produce medical supplies domestically.
