I would be happy to.

Thank you for your testimony today and for your overview of what you learned in this process.

It involves drug smugglers, human traffickers, and those who are harming women.

Over 100 people die across the country every day from opioid overdoses, and that is coming through the ports of entry.

And you know, there is a number of circumstances, and I think you have identified a lot of those, and some are escaping dangerous situations in their countries.

I think we need to improve our system to encourage legal immigration because this truly is a great country.

I think it makes sense that they would remain with their children while the judicial system works.

One of the policies I think is disastrous is a policy that creates false hope for people.

I don't see how anyone could say that that doesn't make sense.

And you know, right now, our Nation's success and the prospect of being here has also attracted people who would do harm here.

I think that was one of the best speeches I have heard since I have been in Congress.

I come to the floor today to thank all of the Members who voted to support the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. In the appropriations legislation the House passed 2 weeks ago, we included $300 million in the fiscal year 2018 budget for…

Tax reform is a key concern for small- business owners and hardworking residents in my district. My predecessor, former Ways and Means chairman, Dave Camp, worked diligently on this issue in hopes of reforming our Nation's burdensome Tax…

I also thank Chairman Royce and Ranking Member Engel for supporting this bipartisan resolution and moving it through the Foreign Affairs Committee. I especially want to thank Congresswoman Torres for her leadership as a true champion on…

I thank Chairman Cole, Chairman Frelinghuysen, and the entire Committee on Appropriations, as well as the President and congressional leaders in both the House and the Senate for their work on this bipartisan appropriations bill. This…
