Louisiana overdose deaths have increased since 2018...virtually doubled overdose deaths.

If you think it is wrong and illegal, un-Constitutional, by all means, defeat it judicially.

The Trump administration began using Title 42 as means to keep the American people safe.

Title 42 is a legal mechanism that Border Patrol uses and our law enforcement professionals use to try and stem the tide of millions of illegal immigrants crossing our Southern Border.

The Biden administration has created one of the worst border crises in our Nation's history.

We are losing our country down there.

This administration and senior officials at DHS seem to throw all logic and reason out the window.

We are spending billions of dollars of the people's treasure to accomplish some dream.

I find troubling though it be it is quite easily observed that my colleagues across the aisle are pushing electric vehicles no matter what.

We have a constitutional obligation to support the Postal Service and, of course, as part of the American narrative, you know, where do electric vehicles fit.

Our critical infrastructure has certainly shown vulnerabilities across the United States and, indeed, the world.

Don Young was my friend. Years ago, before I entered Congress to serve my country at this level, as a police officer I was called upon to address the annual gathering of the Alaskan State Troopers. I will always remember, as our plane…

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

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.

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

I appreciate your comments. I just suggest that this subcommittee has been, perhaps, not as engaged as we could be.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
