Mr. Mix, recently it seems like most unions are going woke.

I do not think he would support most of those woke causes, nor do I believe most members of these unions would support those causes.

Why does the leadership of these unions thumb their nose at their members?

this is about meritocracy. This is about putting meritocracy over the ideas of DEI and all these other criterias.

Biden has dismantled the successful America First border security policies that he inherited from President Donald Trump, and as a result he is overseeing the worst border crisis in American history.

Biden's open border policies begets the mass murder of 9/11. It has allowed hundreds of identified terrorists to cross every State in America.

In fact, it affirms that the influx of millions of low-skilled immigrants, both illegal and legal, has had an undeniable impact on tens of millions of Americans, and their ability to find work.

Just this week Eric Adams warned that the influx of economic migrants would 'destroy New York City.'

Since taking office, President Biden has undermined America's border security integrity of our immigration system at every turn.

the influx of millions of low-skilled immigrants, both illegal and legal, has had an undeniable impact on tens of millions of Americans.

I thank the chairman for yielding, and I thank him for his leadership on this issue and so many other issues related to our foreign policy and national security. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to speak today in support of the passage of my bill…

It cost unnecessarily the lives of our service members and it leaves those that are still serving... with the question of what has changed.

No one has yet been held accountable for the disastrous, deadly, embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan.

I will spend the rest of my time in Congress fighting for accountability for those who made these ridiculous and stupid decisions that led to the loss of your loved ones.

Why have not schools flush with cash like Harvard, used a small piece of their profits to lower tuition cost?

At least the football team is bringing revenue in for the school.

Well, I think that the last part is the key, is that we do not know the quality of colleges in most instances.

Yes. I think the answer is obviously yes.

The average cost of a 4-year degree has tripled over the last four decades.

Really crazy. Relatedly a 2021 Heritage Foundation report found that the average U.S. university has 45 full-time staff dedicated to DEI.

Those goals are established based on the composition of our Army officer corps.

We must do everything that we can to preserve the meritocracy of our military.

And, therefore, naturally we have enjoyed applications from a very diverse group of people in this country.

If Congress nominates candidates to the academies, why, why do we have to take race into consideration at all?

So, race-based composition goals for the Class of 2027? Simple question.
