Do we want immigration solutions, border solutions, or do we just want problems to run against to divide the country?

I admire the audacity and the courage of my colleagues for calling this hearing, but I am baffled why they think this is to their political advantage.

What we heard from the Republicans is, no way, we are not going to help our democratic allies.

Just yesterday, a 20-year veteran Federal law enforcement officer from the U.S. Border Patrol told the Washington Examiner he Is demoralized because Republicans in Congress are abandoning his agency and forcing it to fend for itself.

House Democrats are ready to work with anyone to enact commonsense legislation to address the decades-long broken immigration system.

Donald Trump does not want a border solution; he wants a border problem to run on.

Republicans are now, quote, 'sheep in wolves' clothing,' and that their inaction and passivity is akin to leaving a soldier in the midst of an ambush.

Deborah Birx, who was former President Trump's White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, stated that a sequence of missteps and mistakes made by the prior administration's pandemic response cost hundreds of thousands of American lives.

America is a country that believes in freedom--for women, too.

So, we are no more than 48 hours away from the fraudulent impeachment of the Secretary of Homeland Security who was impeached simply for performing his legal duties under severe resource constraints.

We are here because the madcap wild goose chase to impeach Joe Biden has produced no wild geese. Even FOX News is lampooning the fact that their own expert witnesses repeatedly say that President Biden did nothing wrong and that there are…

The GOP is the MAGA party. It's Trump's party, and they just want to blow everything up.

It's just a laughingstock impeachment. It's just mad hat excursion for them to go in and try to impeach a Cabinet secretary.

They are just not taking yes for an answer.

It's been turned into this authoritarian cult of personality obsessed with conspiracy theory and disinformation.

The Republicans are just not good at counting their votes.

Donald Trump needs something to run on.

He doesn't want a solution, he wants a scapegoat.

We are pretty good at attacking Federal workers around here, but we are not very good at praising them. So I rise today to offer my profound appreciation for the hardworking employees at the National Personnel Records Center, who last week…

I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close, as well. I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of Ms. Chang by naming the post office in Boston, Massachusetts after her, and we will all be proud to see it…

I have no further speakers, but I encourage all of my colleagues to join us in honoring the life of Dr. Hill by naming the post office in San Bernardino after her. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

In closing, I would encourage all of my colleagues to join us in honoring the life of Mr. Ho by naming a post office in Los Angeles after him. Madam Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 599, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Today, our colleagues are using their first full Committee hearing of the year to distract from the depressing reality that they failed to bring forward even a single piece of serious bipartisan legislation.

the Biden-Harris Administration has failed to secure the Southern border.

I think that you articulated well what most American people feel, which is that we should discourage as much as possible illegal immigration into the country and encourage and proliferate possibilities for lawful immigration.
