The gentleman talks a lot about law enforcement, correctly so. We ought to honor those who protect us and who put their life and limb at risk daily to do so. We ought to honor them whether they are ICE agents, whether they are Border…

I thank the gentleman for his exposition of the schedule. I want to speak briefly to the appropriations process. I think the Appropriations Committee is fairly close to the completion of its bills. Can the gentleman tell us when the…

It is my time. This is the most autocratic Congress in which I have served. It has had the most closed rules. And the majority leader brings to the floor his version of what he wants to say and how he wants to characterize it. No…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank the ICE agents for being present. It is unfortunate that our Republican colleagues are not present doing the business that cries out to be done. I am voting ``present'' on this resolution…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for the week to come. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. McCarthy), my friend, the majority leader. (Mr. McCARTHY asked and was…

I reclaim my time just to remind the majority leader of what I asked. The majority leader likes to talk about what we did in the past. His party shut down the government, and he says I voted to shut down the government. That is absurd that…

We will close now. Neither of the questions that I posed were answered. And certainly the fact that there are 240 votes on this floor was not disputed, by the majority leader, for the Hurd-Aguilar, which addresses security at the border…

He didn't answer the question, of course. He hardly ever does. 400,000 more jobs created in 2016 than 2017. He doesn't say that. They inherited a growing economy. We inherited, when President Obama took office, a receding economy…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, these rules would mark the capitulation by a large number of Republicans who, for a time, reflected the views of 86 percent of the American people and the hopes of the Dreamers those…
