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 the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

This begs the question, why would someone--why would anyone have the political lunacy to take on this public policy?

I think it is just the height of lunacy for a nation to basically commit suicide in the way that we are doing so with our border situation and being a welfare State.

Back home you have got people that are, you know, that I would say lower wage labor... This is the forgotten man, and they are the ones that are asking the question why am I paying for some of the benefits that these illegal immigrants are…

If you are the champion of those people why in the hell would you flood the Nation with competition to those individuals, and drive down their wages?

Why in the world would any political party, or any President of the United States decide let us open up the borders?

It is just obvious that you cannot have a free border State and a welfare State.

I think it is even more, it is just the height of lunacy for a nation to basically commit suicide in the way that we are doing so with our border situation and being a welfare State.

You've said that U.S. has intact spacecraft. You said that the government has alien bodies.

I think their healthcare costs are sky high because of this place.

Do you not think that there could be something that you could do in the perimeter of the law that you have purview over, to reduce the number of children that you lose track of?

What do you do--how do you decide who they can be placed with?

You say you do not have jurisdiction, but you have bent the law to get jurisdiction to call these families.

You cannot get ahold of these children.

I am really glad to hear that AB5 is not going to go nationwide, and the reason is that it is--it was clearly disastrous for the State of California.

I just want to impress on you the impact that you have on the taxpayers.

I kind of, I just want to kind of get down to how did we get here where we have a situation in America where we have what I think is the rights of association being violated, the rights of freedom of speech being violated.

The outcome is economic freedom for some states, and others not so much.

In his letter, he outlines concerns that he has about your office's, or about the changes in your agency to no longer include information on the foreign gifts and contracts that are being sent to our schools.

We have heard previously from experts this year about the--about their concerns of the impact that foreign entities, especially China have on our higher ed institutions.

Legislation like the RETAIN Act which I introduced with Congressman Brad Schneider last week would address the nationwide shortages of teachers.
