My amendment eliminates the funding that might be used in contravention of section 642(a) that is designated in the amendment. 642(a) is the section in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, as I know it…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would just make the point that this Congress passed an amnesty act in 1986, and Ronald Reagan signed that. It was an act of Congress that brought amnesty in 1986. I think it was a mistake, but I…

I would reiterate this point, that this Congress and a lot of the American people lack confidence in the negotiations of our President. A lot of this angst has flowed forth from the Iranian negotiations and their march towards a nuclear…

I want to reiterate the positions that were taken by the gentleman from Texas. We have political subdivisions, primarily, as sanctuary cities that are violating Federal law, and all we are saying is follow the law. The point hasn't been…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Iowa will be postponed. Amendment Offered by Mr. Luetkemeyer

This amendment addresses the circumstances around the trade promotion authority and later on, perhaps, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but it also addresses any of our trade negotiations that might take place that would be funded under this…

May I inquire as to the time remaining, please? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Iowa has 45 seconds remaining.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. _. None of the funds made available by this Act…

I would just reiterate that the President of the United States has signed a document. It is a November 20 document that says that he is going to impose executive amnesty. This House disagrees. Many in the Senate also disagree. They have…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Iowa has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Reclaiming my time, and thanking the gentleman from Pennsylvania for his insight, Mr. Chairman, I would state that the Constitution is very clear. It was very clear to the President of the United States for 10 years while he taught it, and…

I would have to go back and look at the record in the Senate to give you an accurate count. I can tell you that it is an accurate count for the House. It may not be a full three times in the Senate.

It is so entirely unfair and truly un-American.

But if we don't agree with them, then you are going to fund all of the groups on campus through your fees and your money.

Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.

Was Baltimore a time there should have been more of a warrior mentality when they were facing rock-throwing mobs?

I think that if there is evidence that someone was being paid to engage in violent protests and engage in violence, then that is a serious problem.

Is it then lawful or unlawful for one to pay protesters and encourage them to become violent?

If you were presented with information that indicated that there was a funder or funders who had hired protesters... would that be worthy of an investigation?

I thank the gentleman from Alabama for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I would say, first of all, that neither the gentleman from Massachusetts nor the one from Chicago can quote any anti- immigrant statements from anybody over on this side. That…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise in support of H.R. 36. I would point out that we have had an estimate of 58 million abortions in this country since Roe v. Wade. That is roughly 14 million by Planned Parenthood alone, and it is…

I would point out that I have in my hand an article from Investor Business Daily, and it is dated, by the way, the 6th of May, but is titled, 'Obama praised Baltimore police he is now investigating.'

The crime victims really don't have rights under the origin of the Old English common law.

if the taxpayers that were funding then at $18,000 a year to incarcerate criminals actually had to pay the full amount of the damage due to crime, they would then incarcerate criminals--more of them and longer because it would be a better…

I think it's maybe not unique, but it might be unique in this Congress.
