I think it would be an invalid exercise of the border search authority within that 100 miles.

We have heard stories from individuals who live in that 100-mile zone who report being stopped by officers, undergoing often humiliating experiences, really expressing consternation that they are Americans living in America and they are…

Thank you for your leadership on this issue and other issues related to privacy and constitutional protections.

It would be better for us to look at that legislatively to prevent that from happening.

Privacy is a fundamental right that we must protect.

The details are important undoubtedly, but at its core this hearing is about the liberties guaranteed to us by the Constitution.

It is about our freedom to travel, our right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling this hearing today. I appreciate your continued willingness to work in a bipartisan way to take on tough questions about our core values as Americans, our rights and responsibilities as citizens, and…

Whether your device is searched and whether you are held should not be the result of a whim by a particular officer.

What are you hearing out there? Is this real? And how do we deal with it?

I ask unanimous consent that my intern, Thomas Stephenson, be granted floor privileges while the Senate is in session on Tuesday, July 10, 2018. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I want to take a moment to say a special thank you to Mr. Pallone and his committee staff for their tireless work to address this crisis. The opioid crisis has ravaged our Nation. It twice…

the Constitution charges Congress with the authority and the responsibility to raise and support armies and provide and maintain a navy. It is a responsibility this body takes very seriously. That is why for over 50 years the National…

I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be…

I thank Mr. Correa for his leadership in putting together this Special Order. I know this shocks us all, what is happening at the border, because in our country, family is an institution. It shapes every aspect of our lives. If you just…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division C (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…
