Earlier this year I had the opportunity to join with my other Republican colleagues to visit the southwest border. This was not a gesture, as the Vice President has referred to these visits. It was, instead, a learning opportunity. The…

I am concerned that the Department of Homeland Security's budget request only reinforces what we already knew--that the administration is not prioritizing a secure border and a secure homeland and is leaving us vulnerable to numerous…

Both CBP officers and Border Patrol agents work tirelessly to protect the border and I strongly support their work.

First, I would like to thank Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves for bringing this bipartisan legislation to the floor. H.R. 1262 would create a task force to recommend reforms and improvements to the notice to airmen system, a…

I want to first thank Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves for bringing this important bipartisan legislation to the floor. H.R. 2016 would begin the critical process in working to consolidate the overlapping disaster response…

Former President Ronald Reagan once said, ``The best social program is a job.'' Job creation and growing our economy are bipartisan issues that benefit all Americans. This past year, we saw the impact that COVID had on our businesses, both…

The men and women of law enforcement live by a creed that sets them apart from all other professions. Unfortunately, that creed, to serve and to protect, often places them in harm's way. While Scripture does not speak directly about law…

Through reductions and consolidations, we saved the American taxpayers over $4 billion.

Through the bipartisan efforts of focusing on freezing and then reducing federal space, we are still seeing the savings produced by those efforts today.

What we have learned is we don't have to do things the same way we have always done them before.

Thank you, Chair Titus. I want to thank our witnesses for joining us today.

I have cosponsored legislation along with Representative from Indiana Greg Pence to direct GSA to conduct a pilot program using the public-private partnership.

These savings not only reduced costs for the taxpayer, but also freed up more resources for agencies to invest in their core missions.

High-speed internet is critical, absolutely critical to agriculture, to entrepreneurship, to healthcare, to education.

I believe that broadband is a key component in economic development, particularly in rural and remote communities.

Please, as there are ways in which we, as Members of Congress, can continue to make sure that we are making broadband available to our rural communities, that we are promoting that economic development, please continue to have an open…

Can people be safe outside the United States? I understand we may not return them to their country of origin.

This is not something that we can turn a blind eye to, and we must begin to address the root causes.

Ms. Ries, you are entirely correct; much of the surge we are seeing today is coming from our Northern Triangle countries.

Since mid-January we have seen a surge of immigrants coming into the country along our southwest border. The numbers are staggering, and the situation along the border continues to deteriorate daily. In March, over 172,000 individuals were…

I am greatly opposed to a one-size-fits-all model. I believe that what works well in California, what works well in New York and Illinois will not work in Mississippi.

I believe that any infrastructure bill that ultimately passes out of Congress, if we are going to have the support that we need, it is going to require Republicans and Democrats working together, coming across the aisle.

Our Nation is facing a complete crisis on our Southern Border with illegal crossings nearing an over 20-year high.

In my opinion, this allows larger companies to sell more efficient used equipment to smaller operations or allow prices to be more affordable for small businesses while also not setting burdensome mandates or requirements for compliance by…

This is completely unacceptable and an indication of this administration's lack of transparency and willingness to accept accountability for this crisis.
