We cannot let politics get in the way of sound governing or ignoring Constitutional obligation to secure our sovereign border.

This should be a wake-up call to President Biden's administration to end this madness and restore common-sense law enforcement at our border.

Criminals and drug cartels are benefiting the most from the Biden administration's border failures.

We continue to hear the pain of our small businesses that we know are the backbone of our economy.

Congress should be a lot more careful with how taxpayer money is being committed.

Some of us are quite passionate about actually preserving our republic and restoring our constitutional rights and freedoms and restoring fiscal responsibility to this body.

We don't have this money.

Every working family could receive $70,000 in cash tax free. You think maybe that would have helped American working families?

We don't have the money. We are mortgaging our children, our grandchildrens', our great grandchildrens', future.

The economic prosperity of the entire State and, indeed, the Nation is impacted based upon our performance here together.

The Port of Lake Charles, if they can't recover, the economic recovery of the entire region is impacted and, indeed, the Nation.

I am going to ask our Chairlady to allow entry into the official record a letter from the Port of Lake Charles referencing those pending and languishing applications.

I have had some very positive interactions with FEMA, so let me mention a compliment because it can work when we work together.

I am concerned that there is too much focus on issues like climate resilience while other needed areas of reform go unaddressed.

The overall message that I hear from the citizens that I serve and the communities that I represent is quite negative regarding FEMA and their interactions with FEMA.

There is no better way than to cutoff Nord Stream 2 sanctions except for the Biden administration lobbied the Senate to drop Nord Stream 2 sanctions.

America must counter Russian aggression with strength, and that includes embracing pro-American policies.

Weakness invites aggression, and President Biden has unfortunately exhibited weakness.

Weak leadership out of the White House has emboldened America's adversaries.

What we are seeing unfold in Eastern Europe and Ukraine is a direct result of the Biden administration's foreign policy.

Ensuring that our homeland is secure and our Jewish brothers and sisters are safe is vital to our Nation's success and our foreign relations.

The Democrats' agenda could be summarized in two words, government control.

Leftist elites in America don't really care about global pollution and ecology because if they did they would support the American energy industry.

I am proud to advance this bipartisan bill that makes clear that the SBA Office of Advocacy has the authority to examine international economic data and represent small businesses' interests in international discussions.

The primary issue faced by the Port of Lake Charles and my district is the slow pace of Federal funding and approvals of that funding from agencies like FEMA.
