I would like to ask unanimous consent to enter these two articles into the record: 'Three migrants, including two children, drowned near the Texas border,' and 'An 8-year-old migrant died after a week in U.S. detention.'

The pain of Anadith's death requires healing that could be advanced by Congressional action.

To heal we have to actually talk about comprehensive immigration reform.

No parent should ever have to go through this loss.

As the gentlewoman was talking, I started asking myself that if our colleagues that are in the majority were actually serious about delivering for their constituents, then perhaps we would spend less time in censures; perhaps we would…

We are here talking about the work that we have done, or tried to do, in this past year. This week is the last week Members of this body will gather to work on legislative business for 2023. The last time I convened the Special Order hour…

We just got back from a week with family. Many of us sat around the table, and we thanked God for the family, for the children, and for the ability to have a roof over their head. Some of you remembered that your family came 100, 200 years…

The bottom line is this: Undermining the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau harms Americans' financial security. That is why today I am offering my amendment supporting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the CFPB, and its…

Words hold power. They are intentional representations of our values and our beliefs. Our democracy is at its strongest when we protect the right to dissent, to resist, and to speak truth to power. However, over the past few weeks, this…

Words we use to address the threat to our Nation do matter. They hold power.

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Ramirez of Illinois moves to recommit the bill H.R. 5525 to the Committee on Appropriations. The…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I cannot believe that I am standing here again having to remind my colleagues that we are a nation of immigrants. I am going to come to this podium each time my Republican colleagues…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of passage. The vote…

As the proud daughter of immigrants, the wife of a Dreamer, the Representative of a district proud of its immigrants and how they contribute to our economy, I am disgusted with the Republicans' relentless persecution and scapegoating of…
