I am unapologetic for raising it today.

MS-13 is taking advantage of our open southern border and bringing in unaccompanied children who actively participate in criminal gang activities.

We need to update our asylum laws and address loopholes in our immigration laws that serve as magnets for UAC.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Instead of asking one witness five questions, I'm going to ask all five witnesses the same question.

There isn't a single one of those children who hasn't been trafficked or transported by the transnational criminal organizations called cartels.

The President needs to reinstate successful Trump Administration policies such as the Migrant Protection Protocols that were working.

If he's going to be tried, I think he should be tried as a juvenile. He was 17, he should not be tried as an adult.

Wow, the rhetoric is hot today. Bigotry, xenophobia, Muslim ban, racism, discrimination. This is what is coming from the left side of the aisle. They say that Biden rescinded Trump's Muslim ban--that he has rescinded the Muslim ban. I want…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 227, nays 203, not voting 1, as…

I have a brief point to make. I wonder how my colleagues on the other side of the aisle hold two thoughts in contradiction simultaneously in their minds. They say that photo IDs and excessive registration paperwork and whatnot…

Democrats today want to introduce gun control legislation that they say is going to make you safer. They want to expand background checks. But what do background checks accomplish? Well, the DOJ said there were 112,000 denials in a year…

I hope there is not too much enthusiasm for this 'immunity passport' as a requirement for traveling.

I want to offer this cautionary tale for anybody who is considering the misguided policy of requiring testing before boarding a plane domestically.

I think the ban on dining is ridiculous to start with.

I do suspect that there's a little bit of ulterior motives surrounding natural gas pipelines.

It's important to note that FERC is an independent regulatory agency.

This action highlights that FERC is striving to protect landowners' rights.

Democrats are not shy in their support of carbon taxes, fracking bans, leftist schemes, like the Green New Deal that would destroy millions of jobs, and force Americans into energy poverty.

I have had numerous meetings with homeowners, landowners, who are very concerned about pipelines going in their backyard.

those states, such as California, that embrace the sanctuary city policies and basically attracts illegal immigrants to those cities, are then unevenly weighted.

Why are we sending $1,200 stimulus checks to non-Americans overseas?

I'm glad we had a chance to discuss this issue in this hearing, because a lot of my constituents are incredulous when they find out that the Census actually counts illegal aliens who are in this country.

I think it's an insult to our soldiers serving overseas, that... we can't find them in order to send them a $1,200 check.

if California gets an extra seat, or two extra seats, because we're counting illegal aliens in California, those--there are only 435 seats in Congress.

90 percent of the prescriptions that are written and filled in the United States, roughly, are for generic drugs.
