Damn right I’m fighting to send a MAGA Republican packing.

We currently have a real challenge on our southern border.

America does not have an immigration problem.

Immigration will add $7 trillion to our economy and lead to an additional $1 trillion in tax revenue over the next decade.

I am proud that we are a nation of immigrants.

Thank you, sir, Mr. Administrator, while China is aggressively deploying more spacecraft to the Moon...

The ability to have space mobility, including satellite servicing, orbital debris removal, these are vital capabilities.

Last year, we helped pass the Bipartisan Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training Act, which provides $124 million in grant funding over four years on de-escalation training for police officers.

We believe the BOP has been dragging its feet to reform this area of restrictive housing.

Last year, my colleagues and expressed concerns about the proposed DEA rule that would've limited patient access to buprenorphine.

We have a bipartisan bill, the BOP Release Card Act, that supports this effort at the BOP by ensuring new IDs fulfill all the requirements.

That sounds like a smart investment to me.

The dollars that give you the proper amount of money will result in saving millions, tens of millions more down the line by cutting recidivism?

We would like to figure out how to implement the bipartisan First Step Act successfully.

I introduced bipartisan legislation with my colleague from Arizona, Representative Juan Ciscomani, to improve CBP's flexibility in hiring, recruiting, and retaining agents, officers, and employees.

I also want to reject a recent despicable effort, by some extreme far left groups, that falsely claim to speak for the Jewish community to undermine the longstanding bipartisan support for this critical programming.

I believe we should pair increasing funding for the NSGP with other enhancements to improve efficiency.

Given the dramatic rise in antisemitism in recent months, it was deeply disappointing that the vital funding in this program was cut by $30.5 million in the final FY 2024 negotiated bill for Congress passed last month.

It is now our job to ensure we pass legislation that improves their quality of life and tackles the various challenges that they face today.

What is holding us back from a serious bipartisan discussion? Is it special interest, the PACs, or Members afraid of a primary challenger?

Truth is what matters.

That is the kind of thing I think we should be doing, is helping folks that are really struggling, children in poverty.

We have got to look at the whole piece. I mean, the revenue side, I mean we have got to have that on the table.

Everything he said, I agree with 100 percent, and Mr. Panetta, time to develop policy and not just keep developing politics.
