As I sit here and I listen to the other side talk about this issue, I wonder if they even understand what is happening at the border. In 2011, there were only 6,500 children coming to the border. In 2012, the President acted through DACA…
I agree that everyone should have a right to sue, but if you lose, I think you should pay. This amendment will allow Federal land managers to get back to managing lands, create greater certainty in the ranching community, and help…
I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 17, line 18, after the first period, insert the following: ``(j) Legal Fees.-- ``(1) Any person, other than a…
Over the last few days we keep hearing about how Republicans are terrorists, Republicans have guns to everybody's head. And it's been, actually, really sad to hear the other side talk about these things. At this point in Ronald Reagan's…
Our country continues to spend billions of dollars on this program instead of fixing the program. Traditional rural timber communities have been operating in an environment of uncertainty for decades, and many public lands in Western…
During the past week, we have heard about a series of major violations of our civil liberties, including the fact that NSA is collecting the phone records of tens of millions of Americans. This wholesale snooping on innocent Americans is…
This motion to recommit is just one more illustration of Democrats being unserious on immigration reform. We don't even need to talk about the merits or whether the MTR is good policy or bad policy. For my friends on the other side, it has…
I object. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard. The Clerk will read. The Clerk continued to read. {time} 1100 Mr. LABRADOR (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to dispense with the reading. The SPEAKER pro…
Once again I sit here and I'm amazed by the language that is being used. We've had numerous hearings. We've had numerous investigations. We've had a lot of people come before Congress and give us false information. And the reality is that…
I stand with a heavy heart in support of today's contempt resolution. It puts us another step closer to holding the Attorney General accountable for this severely flawed operation and his failure to cooperate with Congress. The Attorney…
As I listened to the other side speak about their budget, it takes me back to growing up in Puerto Rico as a young man. And I'm very privileged to represent the people of Idaho right now, but I grew up in a very poor neighborhood. I grew…
For far too long, the Federal Government has imposed regulatory burdens that have impeded economic growth and limited our access to domestic energy. This legislation, which passed out of the Natural Resources Committee on a bipartisan…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title XVII add the following: Subtitle D--Promotion of Timely Exploration for Geothermal…
In conclusion, let's correct two statements that were just made. Number one, the Chamber of Commerce and the geothermal industry testified in our committee that they're for this, and I have letters from them saying that they're for this…
May I inquire how much time remains. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.
I want the American people to understand something very clearly: This debate today is not about policy; it is only about politics. It has always been about politics. Number one, there is no Senate bill. Our friends on the other side keep…
The Democrats only want to have a political tool to keep hitting us over the head again and again and again. They want to spend the next 2 months debating this issue. If the middle class does not get this tax cut, they will only have one…
I want to briefly speak about the impact the overbearing Environmental Protection Agency has in my district. I want to begin by relating an anecdote that illustrates the arrogant and tone-deaf attitude the EPA has taken in its attempts to…
