May I just inquire how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland has 4 minutes remaining.

I thank Mr. Conyers very much for yielding. The good gentleman from Iowa invites us to believe that the laws of the States are not being overridden because some of these States don't have laws. That's right, because their State supreme…

The floor leader has invited us to stick to the facts, so I want to stick to the facts in order to clear up some of the propaganda I have heard today for this terrible bill. First of all, it has nothing to do with ``groundless cases or…

I'm going to build a wall and I guarantee you 100 percent Mexico is going to pay for it.

I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. I rise only to express my real disappointment in the way that this bill has been brought to the floor. Had the majority not insisted on a closed rule, preventing the House from voting on any…

I am dumbfounded and baffled by this law enforcement technique, which just seems patently ridiculous to me.

I believe this analysis is completely incorrect, constitutionally unfounded, and will be of great detriment to the public interest.
