Martin Sabo: “I concur in the chairman's comments. You have a good amendment, and I am glad to support it.”

I was sitting here waiting for time to expire so I could cast a vote, and I heard the motion made by the gentleman from New York. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman have a parliamentary inquiry?

My question was not about local government. It was about whether DHS would be doing something under his amendment that they are not doing today.

I would make a parliamentary inquiry of the Chair. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman may state his inquiry.

Are all these laws filed with the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security?
