Last year, New York State passed legislation, referred to as the Green Light Law, that has disturbingly made communities throughout the entire country less safe.

That is contrary to law enforcement procedures across the country and does not help criminal investigations.

The impact of the law is not New York-specific. It affects communities throughout the United States.

The Green Light law limits the Department's situational awareness at border crossings, interior checkpoints...

The totality of negative consequences are much farther reaching.

The law barred New York State driver's license and vehicle registration information... from being shared with Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

If we were genuinely worried about this issue, then we would work on compromise legislation that would have a chance of making it to the President's desk rather than messaging bills that never had a chance of getting consideration by the…

H.R. 3 would result in a huge expansion of Government control over patients' healthcare that would result in actually fewer cures and less access for Americans to drugs and treatments.

My colleagues in Congress should provide, as I was saying, every necessary Federal resource. We must do everything in our power to ensure that southwest Louisiana is not forgotten as we work through the long and difficult recovery. I have…

This is exactly why America does not trust Congress.

Are you aware of any evidence whatsoever of some kind of a mailbox or mail delivery conspiracy?

Exactly. I very much appreciate you appearing before the committee today in service to our Nation, doing your very best to lead a large team of dedicated Americans to determine a precise count for our census.

You are the main guy representing the, quote, unquote, 'Trump administration' as you sit before this committee today?

We cannot allow individuals unlawfully present in the United States to dilute the votes of citizens and lawful immigrants who waited their turn to come to this country to engage in our democracy.

Illegal aliens present in our country, if counted for apportionment, actually do shift the balance of one man one vote away from densities of population of American citizens toward densities of population of illegal immigrants.

President Trump's new policy would restore congressional representation to its rightful owners, the citizens of America.

Illegal residents of our country or illegal occupiers of our country have significantly affected representation.

The Census Bureau does in fact have to fill holes and make assumptions on data.

I just want to clarify that what is before us today is the balance of power of the representative republic if American citizens that we are supposed to serve.

You should use the ACS in this case.

Estimates range from 12 million to 25 million illegal aliens in this country.

Voting rights in America and congressional representation in America belong to American citizens, period.
