It is my privilege to be recognized to address you here on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, this great deliberative body. To start this off, I yield to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Fortenberry).

I would point out they reversed that decision before sundown that day. And I am glad that doesn't stand today.

It is my honor to be recognized to address you here on the floor of the United States House of Representatives and to have the privilege to participate in this great deliberative body that we have and are. On occasion, I come down here and…

8 U.S.C. 1373 addresses sanctuary cities, and it prohibits the sanctuary jurisdictions by Federal law. And that is exactly what they intend to carve out at 8 o'clock tonight in Des Moines, Iowa, to establish themselves as a sanctuary…

Reserving my right to object, I would just like to note that we knew where the clock was going on this, but I made a speech today in the Judiciary Committee, and I want to stand by my word and acknowledge the gentleman and not object so…

I regret I wasn't able to work with all of the speakers here tonight they wanted to pack within that hour. I understand that they have prepared themselves to give this speech tonight, and there will be opportunities in each succeeding day…

Reclaiming my time, it is conjecture that any of the Trump businesses had anything to do with this decision. It is pure conjecture. If the argument is that Donald Trump didn't do business in Somalia, I wouldn't blame him one bit. If…

Reclaiming my time, in addressing both of those topics, the gentleman's data that says that more Christians than Muslims have been brought in as refugees, I have heard that as an Obama administration information that has come out. That…

First, I want to say that I have been a long and strong supporter of the REINS Act. I want to compliment Congressman Geoff Davis of Kentucky for introducing and crafting that legislation. While he was doing that, I was drafting a bill that…

I have an amendment at the desk made in order under the rule. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, as proposed to be amended by section…
