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. ___. The total amount of…

I misspoke. This is for Interior. This is for Interior. Excuse me. Mr. Chair, this is for Energy.

It was very telling to me to have City Council members who were sitting here, bipartisan, Republicans, Democrats, talking about the problems that building that facility would pose on their community.

That natural barrier called climate seems to be helping us a lot up there on the northern border.

Mr. Chairman, I will tell you that walls do work.

In 2020, the DHS bill appropriated $67.8 billion. In 2022, the DHS bill appropriated $75.538 billion. The 2024 DHS appropriation bill includes $91.5 billion. While I certainly respect the work that has been done in that committee, we all…

My amendment No. 74 will reduce the total amount of funds appropriated by this bill to move our country toward fiscal responsibility, bringing spending toward fiscal year 2022 levels. We all know that we are facing a $33 trillion national…

Secretary Mayorkas acknowledges the threat of illegal labor in his memo ending workplace enforcement: ``Unscrupulous employers create an unfair labor market. They also unfairly drive down their costs and disadvantage their business…

My amendment No. 73 would prohibit funds from being used to enforce Secretary Mayorkas' memo prohibiting workforce immigration enforcement. With the stroke of a pen, Secretary Mayorkas eliminated a key method of interior enforcement and…

I am glad that the gentlewoman from Minnesota brought up the bill, the actual bill. ``None of the funds made available by this act may be used to enforce any COVID-19 mask mandates.'' Again, let me reiterate: Highly contagious diseases or…

My amendment No. 180 would prohibit the use of funds being made available by this act from enforcing any COVID-19 mask mandates. Now, I want to make sure that everyone understands there is a huge difference between a COVID-19 mask mandate…

We don't have a single problem with this being an option. If any servicemembers want to go and get an experimental vaccination plugged into their arm, they are welcome to do so. What we are saying is that the dollars that are going to be…

I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Chair, at some point I would like the gentleman from Montana to show me his statistics. We might have had 60,000 people who chose not to re-up. To attribute it all to COVID, I would…

I am glad we are talking about the effectiveness and the readiness of our military. Again, 60,000 reservists left the military because of a mandate. Fortunately, we did learn something from it and it was removed from the NDAA, and Austin…

President Biden's harmful border agenda has been felt by states far from the border nearly since the day he took office.

If President Biden, Secretary Mayorkas and other administration officials were serious about controlling immigration and securing our border, we would not have this hearing today.

There is a proposed $1.3 billion increase in this appropriation. With this reduction, there would still be a $600 million increase in the appropriation. That is a reasonable increase based upon the inflation rates that have been caused by…
