The Public Record
It's a remarkable number, and when you consider the bill that came from the Senate would double the figure for legal immigration. We're having a hard time assimilating the number of people that we have when we have 24 million Americans who…
I thank the gentleman from Alabama. That was a tour de force. I thank you for that. I think the context you gave was wonderful, the fact that we have been extremely generous because one of the numbers you mentioned, that I had heard as…
And that's absolutely true, because ``comprehensive'' is code language for this is really, really bad what's in this bill. Take a look at comprehensive sex education. That's all you need to know. This is really really bad, and it's not…
I now yield to the gentleman from Florida. Is that what you are hearing as well from your constituents?
I want to thank Dr. Fleming from Louisiana, because you hit on a great point. That's why we have such a credibility problem right now as the United States Congress, because we say we are going to do something and we don't. I think the only…
Oh, we do have a couple of minutes. Well, then we're going to go full tilt. Let me yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Yoho). He has something on his mind, I can just tell. {time} 2130
I thank the gentleman from Florida. We will continue to have this discussion back and forth as we yield to one another. I think you've raised an excellent point, and that's really going back to 1986, when President Reagan told the country…
I thank Mr. King. And we do have a little bit more time. I'm thankful to talk about this topic because this isn't just a 1-hour topic. As a matter of fact, there's a colleague that we were with earlier today who said that we need to talk…
I want to thank the gentleman from Florida for saying that because I think what I fear is that if we combine these issues in so-called comprehensive reform, what's going to happen is you're going to have selective enforcement, and you're…
The Secretary of Homeland Security also testified before Congress when she was asked about whether or not the border was secure, she had testified that they didn't even have a metric to know if the border was secure. So what are we doing…
I was watching in my office what the gentleman from Texas was saying, and I was moved so profoundly because this week changed history. It changed history with the definition of America and the United States, but it also changed our…
On Monday of this week, Lysa, her children, and thousands of admirers gathered at St. Paul Cathedral in St. Paul, Minnesota, to bury the legendary author Vince Flynn. Vince Flynn was known and beloved as a Minnesotan and a great American…
This is a bill that is so big it is already failing itself and failing the American financial services industry.
It's a privilege to be able to stand here today and to speak on behalf of the unborn. I have a picture that was taken just yesterday. All of us as parents love to take pictures of our babies. This is a picture that was taken of an unborn…
How damaging is this to the national security of the American people that this trust was violated?
Be assured, my decision was not in any way influenced by any concerns about my being reelected to Congress. And rest assured, this decision was not impacted in any way by the recent inquiries into the activities of my former presidential…
It is with great joy that I have shadowing me today a girl named Desirae, and she is with me as a foster child. It was one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as a foster mother to 23 great kids. May is Foster Care Month. There are…
I thank the gentlelady from Tennessee who has been a champion for the repeal of ObamaCare for years and years. Mr. Speaker, in light of the recent revelations that have just come out within this last week regarding the outrageous…
I strongly urge all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to listen to the clear, distinct voice of the American people. They have spoken loudly. They have spoken clearly. They heard the words of then-Speaker of the House Nancy…
I thank the gentleman from Texas. This is a bill that is changing the course of American history, and it is why we need to repeal this bill today. I believe, Madam Speaker, that we will see this bill ultimately repealed. Why? Because it is…
I thank Mr. Latham for offering this bill. It's high time that the FAA, Mr. Speaker, have the flexibility that they need to have on closures of any air traffic control towers. It is my hope that St. Cloud, Minnesota, and Anoka-Blaine…
It's difficult for me to even speak about this subject today. I'm a woman who's been privileged to give birth to 5 children, and I've also taken 23 children into my home as foster children. It's very hard for me to imagine, Mr. Speaker…
On April 18, 2013 I was not able to vote on rollcall votes 113, 114, 115, 116 and 117. At the time, I was performing my duties as a designee of the U.S. House of Representatives attending the funeral of Baroness Margaret Thatcher in…
