Make no mistake, there is a crisis on our Southwest Border with no end in sight.

The Remain in Mexico policy should be reinstated.

There is a crisis on our Southwest Border with no end in sight. That is reality.

The Secretary of Homeland himself stated that we are on track to see the highest number of illegal crossings in over 20 years.

This administration's campaign rhetoric coupled with an over-zealous renunciation of the prior administration's border policies have invited this activity at our border.

The administration's failure to properly address the border crisis endangers our Republic, bottom line.

How is this unconstitutional? H.R. 51 violates our Founders' intent, the actual writ of the Constitution, the land itself, which should rightfully be returned to Maryland if its original purpose as land for our Nation's Capital is…

What we face is unprecedented and should be addressed aggressively and in a bipartisan manner.

I look forward to continuing to work with you and your Administration to ensure that Louisiana has the resources it needs to recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Laura.

I respectfully urge you to swiftly implement a supplemental disaster relief plan that provides for the thousands of severely impacted Americans in Southwest Louisiana.

These Federal commitments have greatly eased the financial burden for local governments.

I remain hopeful that we can advance additional support through Congress in a bipartisan manner.

D.C. is unique because it was expected to be unique. It was envisioned to be forever unique.

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 246, nays 175, not voting 8, as…

Are we experiencing a pandemic?

We have got 2 million illegal immigrants headed our way, and I don't believe you have a plan to deal with it.

I am going to submit my questions in writing, because you are not here to answer hard questions, sir.

For God sakes, we are going to blame President Trump?

What happened between the control that we had and what we have now? We had the election in November 2020, and President Biden was inaugurated on January 20.

I have to say, though, that this meeting, this hearing, for many Americans watching this, has been quite nauseating thus far, the carefully-read scripted statements.

You are looking at the cartels have 2 million in the pipeline. We are absolutely looking at a 20-year high for illegal crossings at our Southern Border.

The bottom line is, illegal immigrants are being processed at the border and released into our Nation that have either not been tested or have tested positive for COVID.

If there is not a crisis or humanitarian disaster at the Southern Border, then may I please suggest we take our FEMA disaster response teams deployed there and send them somewhere where they are needed.

True success in Afghanistan will only be achieved if we build upon the progress by the Trump administration, promote a free and self-sustaining direction for the region and protection for our allies like Israel.

I mean, if we haven't taught the Afghan people how to care for themselves in 20 years, you know, what makes us think we are going to do it in two more.
